Hi! I'm using Firefox in Android 4.4.4 in my Motorola Moto Maxx. When I need to go to url from WhatsApp, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Play Store and for this url I have installed in my phone the native application the native application was opened. When I go to the url from Google Chrome, Chrome open a new Windows ask me for witch application open the url, if I select the native application installed I open it with the application. When I go to the url using Firefox, It can not give me the option to select if I wont to open the url with the native application, go to url in web broser. Is possible to set Firefox to open the url if I have installed the native application? Thanks in advance!

Yessssssssss I have a solution for this... :)

You can use an add-on for Firefox in android phone. Just open firefox from your mobile and download add-on named Open Native App from the link below: 

                 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/andr.../open-native-app/

After installing try the step shown in the screen shot below..

tap the more option button and select "Open In New Tab" from the menu.

I hope this will help...!! :)
