Details
Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate to https://app.raindrop.io, and create an account (Unfortunately required for this issue - though it's free and doesn't even appear to verify email... so you can use anything for the details).
- Select the
+(Add) button on the top right, set the URL to anything, and repeat this step 2 more times (I usedhttps://wikipedia.org,https://foo.bar, &https://foo.baz). - Long press on one of the bookmarks you just added, and tap
Select. This should check the box to the top left of the bookmark you selected. - Check the boxes to the top left of the other 2 bookmarks you added.
- Select the
Openicon on the top right (The square with the arrow pointing diagonally to the top right outside of the box). - You'll be taken to a new tab with one of the bookmarks you added.
- Navigate back. You'll be back on
app.raindrop.ioand greeted with the "Allow this site to open?" dialog. Choose "Allow".
Actual results:
Nothing happens.
Expected results:
A new tab should've opened for the page.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox for Android::Bookmarks' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,
I am facing the same issue. In my case I have multiple bookmarklets that have stopped working due to this issue. I think that it might be relevant because it seems to work when it's a javascript: link.
Using the page below as an example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title>testcase</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:(function()%7B%22use%20strict%22%3B%20window.open('https://www.mozilla.org'%2C%20'_blank').focus()%3B%7D)()">click</p>
</body>
</html>
Clicking the link seems to work but if I bookmark it and then invoke it from the address bar, I get the pop-up "Allow this site to open?" then when I click "Allow" the pop-up closes but nothing happens.
Hope this help sort this out.
Thanks,
Tom

This is not an applinks prompt. Applinks prompt starts with "Open in <app name>?". This is the site trying to open a prompt.

From description this looks like a desktop issue. (The reference to the + button on the top right and the bookmark behaviour) Please move it back if I'm incorrect.

I don't think that's the case always starts with "Open in...". I am reproducing this issue only in Firefox for Android, not on my Firefox desktop and it happens when I use a bookmarklet that I wrote (regardless of the website I use it on) so it can be the website. I can share screenshots from any website of your choosing if you want. Any bookmarklet that opens a new tab using window.open('https://www.example.com', '_blank'); will do, you can use the one that I built as a test case if you want: https://jsfiddle.net/jxtkLz7o/1/ (you need to bookmark the click link to make it a bookmarklet first and then invoke it, just clicking the click link on the page does not trigger the issue).

Sorry I meant to write "it can't be the website."

Yeah, I apologize if my instructions weren't clear, but this is definitely an issue on Android, not Desktop. Here's a screenshot of the specific prompt that's broken (which was provided in the issue I linked above.

Thank you, @celenity, for filling this bug.
I reproduced it on the latest Nightly 143.0a1 from 31.07.2025 with Moto G72 (Android 13).
