Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set "Open links in apps" behavior to "Ask before opening."
  2. Visit any website.
  3. Clink any hyperlink.

Actual results:

Firefox Android shows pop-up to open link in external app on all websites and hyperlinks. This includes search results, the pop-up is shown even when an external app isn't installed. [Example: Links in DuckDuckGo search results show pop-up even when DuckDuckGo browser is not installed.
The pop-up opens an unrelated app, "MiniReview - Game Reviews."

Expected results:

Link should open in Firefox itself for websites like search engines, Wikipedia, etc.
This problem is not there in Firefox Nightly.
