With the Gmail App installed on windows, how to open an embedded link in an email (in the Gmail App) in Firefox browser instead of Chrome Browser? Currently, I do a left click, copy the link address and paste it in the Firefox Browser. By default, on clicking the link in the Gmail App, it opens in the Chrome Browser.

If you have set Firefox as the default browser then Google may have hard coded this in the App and always uses Google Chrome like MS has done in the past with its own email clients and browsers or special file formats that were only supported in IE.

Links open in Firefox if you open gmail in the browser rather than using an 'app'.

I am using gmail in Firefox browser and google opening all links in email and hangs most of the time. Sometimes, it never opens the link.
