Running OxygenOS 10.0.0 on OnePlus 5T. Using Chrome or Brave browsers, tapping a Twitter link opens the Twitter app which I much prefer. In the mobile Firefox app this is not the case. I get a new tab with mobile.twitter.com url within Firefox. Is there a way to default Twitter links to the Twitter app? Thanks.

Hello,

You can set Firefox for Android 79+ to open supported links in their respective app by opening settings and toggling on the Open links in apps setting under the Advanced section. This will open all links in their supported app, if it is installed on your phone.
