firefox for android beta version 114.0b7 I have chosen never open link in app in settings. But when I open some pages, firefox still pop up to let me choose, even in private browsing. It seems that the website use another way and try to open apps once the web page is opened. Though Firefox prevent it from opening app automatically. But the popup is really annoying. If user choose "never", It should no longer be opened in the app in any case. I notice that edge and duckduckgo can block it completely. Is it possible for firefox by using extensions or about:config? Thanks!

Hi

I have just installed version 115.0b3 and the option to open in other apps is in the Firefox for Android Beta menu.

I recommend that you update.
