Since nightly and release are affected, beta will likely be affected too.

I found a workaround on my Android:

Settings → Apps → Google → Open by default → disable "Open supported links"

After disabling it, Firefox can open share.google/... links normally.

Repro chain:

t.co → share.google/... → Wikipedia

Before: blank page / loading issue
After: redirects correctly

---

• actual URL: ttps://share.google/PGkftRYO8FKSety6n (should be redirected to ja.wikipedia via multiple redirects)
• firefox: 150.0.3
• Firefox "Open links in apps": Always
• google app: 17.22.39.ve.arm64
• android: Galaxy S22, Android 16 (OneUI 8.0)

If more information needed, I will provide them if possible.
Thanks for lots of effort to develop the great web browser!!
