Hello,

I recently noticed that Firefox is opening a new tab instead of refreshing the current page like it should. The view I get is attached as a screenshot.

I have set my default browser to Firefox, so the prompt to set my default browser is quite confusing. I have also tried to restart firefox and also the tablet. Neither helped.

The problem seems to have gone away. Might have been a bug, since the app updated 3 days ago and now it’s not doing it anymore.
