links do not open properly

If I tap a link in outlook, whatsapp or any app, firefox should open the link. It partially does; it creates a tab with the correct link, but the app does not appear, it stays in the background. Can this be resolved?

Hi

I am not quite sure what you mean, but I would like to help.

Would it be possible to take a screenshot of this issue and include it in a reply to this topic?

There is nothing significant to show. The issue is that nothing visibly happens.

To give you a way of reproduction. - open an app (for instance outlook) - click on link (in email) - nothing happens visibly, no firefox opening and displaying requested link - mainwhile in the background the firefox app does start and creats a new tab with the link, but this you cannot see (unless you later open firefox yourself and go to the taboverview)
