Browser / Version: Firefox Mobile 108.0
Operating System: Android 9
Tested Another Browser: No

Problem type: Site is not usable
Description: Page not loading correctly
Steps to Reproduce:
Twitter links from other sites are now prompting to open a Twitter app instead of opening normally in the browser. While Twitter experience in the browser has been steadily deteriorating over the past month and a half, this is the first time Twitter has stopped working completely.

To test, go to any website with an embedded Twitter post and try to interact with the post content. Not even embedded videos play.

FF settings:

• Open links in a private tab is checked
• uBlock Origin and Video Background Play Fix are installed

@sv-calin, if you were to look at the screenshot, you could've seen that the problem occurs in Private Browsing Mode. In any case, this issue is already tracked as Fenix #27719 .

Thanks for the update, the issue reproduces only in private but not on the 1st try.

Since this is not a compatibility issue, the bug will be diagnosed by the Fenix team.
