Apps still opening even with "Open links in apps" disabled?

Occasionally there are websites that seem to trick my Firefox for Android 93.1.0 to launch the AliExpress app I have installed. This is surprising since I have the "open links in apps" option set to false and I don't explicitly use the "Open in app" menu item in this case. Is this expected behaviour?

Hi

I do not use that service so I am not going to be able to replicate what you are seeing, but I do understand that the next update to Firefox for Android is due to have improved "open in app" handling.
