@Fanolian thank you for your report! I was able to reproduce this issue on Firefox Nightly 108.0a1- 7/11 with One plus 9 Pro (Android 12). However I only reproduced it after reloading the twitter page (not on the first try). |
I tried Wikipedia which triggers open-in-app prompts. It works but the address given in the prompt is |
The problem is with any Twitter link and any embedded Twitter post on any page. If you start with a page in Private Browsing mode and click on a Twitter link, there will be one or more "intent" pop ups and the page would fail to load. For instance, open this page in PB mode and click on this link: Firefox 🔥 (@firefox) / Twitter This is probably a higher priority issue because Twitter is broken as of now in permanent PB mode. |
This issue is now present in beta - we are seeing reports elsewhere. It is also happening in non-private browsing mode in Nightly, so I think this is a pretty serious issue. |

It doesn't work in non-PB mode now. Loading a twitter page will open Google Play Store. |
Confirm this is also the case while testing on Pixel 7 (Android 13)
Thanks @Fanolian, also confirmed on Pixel 7 (Android 13) |
@rocketsroger @t-p-white - @zmckenney and I fell into investigating this on |
Thanks Jeff, this is a good observation. |
Adding QA to confirm that with latest Nightly this is not reproducible. Thanks |
This said, I'm still trying to figure out what's causing the problem in Beta. |
Confirmed @boek's and @zmckenney's investigation. This issue is related to Cookie Banner Protection. Thanks |
Confirm that this can't be reproduced in latest Nightly, PB or non-PB mode. |
Bugzilla issue created. |
Verified as fixed on the latest Nightly 109.0a1 from 29/11 with Motorola Moto G9 plus (Android 11). This issue is no longer reproducible in normal or private browsing. twitter.mp4 |
This is being tracked in the upstream bug. |
Steps to reproduce
Expected behaviour
The page should be loaded in Fenix successfully.
Actual behaviour
A prompt about opening the link in app appears. Clicking cancel does not load the link in Fenix. It shows a blank page instead.
In non-PB mode, I can load the link properly.
