Steps to reproduce

  1. Press share
  2. Select Firefox
  3. Other app gets opened

Expected behaviour

It should open Firefox

Actual behaviour

It opens other apps when Firefox is selected

Device name

Redmi Note 5 Pro

Android version

Android 11

Firefox release type

Firefox

Firefox version

Firefox 101.2.0

Device logs

No response

Additional information

This bug is rare, but once it happened, it happens for like a few consecutive times. It's kind of frustrating.

Here is an example. Fennec was selected but a notepad was opened instead

Here is an another example. Fennec was selected but Discord was opened

I have "Open links in a private tab" and "Allow screenshots in private browsing" enabled, I don't know if that information is going to be useful but that's there.

Edit:
Here's another example where the error occurred but on Firefox v101.2.0

Dear, Fennec is a third-party build, please either make sure this bug reproduces in official build, or file the bug to its corresponding maintainer accordingly

Fennec F-Droid's issue tracker links to this repo so this is where I posted it.

That is understandable.

Regardless, neither with Fennec F-Droid nor with Nightly could this be reproduced.

The thing is, it only happens rarely.

Is there a way to log the events every time the browser was opened?

unfortunately the bug you are describing has nothing to do with fenix itself ,it's due to android 11 there 's also a bug report in Google but has not solved yet and I doubt it will ever be

Changed Fennec to Firefox because the bug also occurred there.
