(Firefox for Android :: Browser Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Nikolaos Chatzikonstantinou]

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to visit my blog at https://_-.pages.debian.net/gsoc2024-parsons-ballarin.

Actual results:

Firefox Android does not recognize the link. I asked on the Mozilla Matrix server and someone confirmed that nightly also has this behavior.

Expected results:

The website to open.

One thing I forgot, on Firefox Desktop there is a related issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184059 that has to do with Firefox being unable to verify the x509 certificate. I don't know if it is another manifestation of this issue or if it is a different issue, so I report the Android issue.

Nikolaos, thanks for reporting this issue. I suspect this Android bug is duplicate of desktop bug 1184059, but we can't really confirm until that bug is fixed. I'll leave this bug open and mark it as depending on that bug fix.
