User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

- Have an app with a clickable link (for example a QR Code scanned with Barcode Scanner)
- Select Mozilla Firefox to open the link


Actual results:

The data is not transmitted, so the page is never loaded, but the charging circle start and keeps turning over and over.
You have to manually stop the "loading", and click "Go" again.
And then, the page loads


Expected results:

The page is loaded

Do you only see this with Barcode Scanner? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android - for example in Twitter, I don't see this problem. Do you also see this with Nightly for Android (http://nightly.mozilla.org)?

On Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.1.1) the page is loaded. I don't see this issue on any version with Barcode Scanner or Twitter

With Android 4.2.2, this keeps happening...

I'll try a complete wipe and will post again the result

Hi, I tried with this devices: Huawei Honor 8 (Android 7.0.0) and LG G4	(Android 5.1.0) on builds: 63.0a1 (Nightly) and 61.0 (Release) and I can't reproduce it. Can you retry on latest Nightly and come with new information?
