:Aggelos, I couldn't reproduce. I downloaded uTorrent Android and on latest release (117.1.0) I can tap on the magnet link and it triggers the prompt to open it in uTorrent.

What site are you using for your magnet links and what bittorrent client are you using? Thanks

Tested uTorrent BitTorrent 1dm etc.
Nothing works on any FF version.
Tested on different sites with magnet links so it's not sote specific issue.
Only chrome and 1dm popup works.
Also on my mi10t pro doesn't work either

I see. From other similar issues. I'm seeing that app links works differently on Android 13 with Pixel and Android 13 on non-pixel devices. I'll investigate more. I'll need to find a device that can reproduce this.

Fixed, I made a mistake, once I cleared Firefox Nightly's defaults
I can open magnet links again.
