After my firefox got upgraded to the newest version 81.0.2 in android tablet, the firefox is missing from 'Open with' list. Previous, when I try to open my downloaded or saved html file, the firefox app is one of the 'Open with' list. However, after the firefox is auto upgraded, the firefox app is gone from the open list. I tried to installed serveral file manager, all of them can not see firefox. Is there a bug or some setting I missed? I tried set firefox as default app, which does not help.

Hi

I do not believe that Firefox for Android can be used to open files at the present time, but this is something that may be included in a future update.

Is this due to the new Firefox does not support this? Previous I could open the files with Firefox. Only after I upgraded, the firefox is missing in 'open with' list.
