Hi, Suddenly Firefox Android can no longer open the magnet links. I can download and open the torrent with the torrent agent and I can also use the magnet links on Chrome Android, but on Firefox Android it doesn't work. I don't get any error message, it just doesn't work. I also tried Firefox Nightly, but that didn't work either. Anyone has an idea how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Hi

Thank you for helping test the Nightly build of Firefox for Android.

It looks like you may have found a bug, I recommend that you report it so that our developers can look into it. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

I have the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy A54 but not on my A52. They are on the same version of the application but different versions of Android. Can't help but wonder if this has to do with the version of Android that the Samsung device is on.
