[With ~Ff 123?8 and now 124 installed on iOS 17.3 platform updated a couple weeks ago from iOS 15.+ on my iPhone XR]

  For couple weeks , following any external link/reference, such as all 'unsubscribe' links from Apple Mail messages, Firefox opens but homepage rather than to the link/url argument (and url field shows blank, not display the extrrnal link's url address in url input box.
  Support history shows an identical problem in Ff ~117 reported (Aug '23, I think)   (if the condition of Firefox not currently running is same, which I haven't yet been able to determine) and apparently resolved then ( 2 replies, but thread is not visible because FF Support has it recorded as "Archived").

Hi there, I thank you for this report. It appears that you have discovered a bug that has resurfaced. You can track the progress of the bug here. Staff and contributors are currently working on it, and a fix should be delivered in a release coming later this week (Firefox for iOS 124.1).

I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for your understanding.
