If I search in Focus for a restaurant and a Yelp link shows up, how do I make Focus open the link in the Yelp app instead of trying to go to the mobile site and then make this the default for the future?

Hi there. it is the idea that if you set Firefox Focus as your default browser it will work in your tabs.


This option is not for ios users who would not want to change this option to this.


What type of android device do you have?

It should go well with these types as follows: Android version 7 and Android version 8 Tap the menu button in the upper right corner. focus menu android Tap Settings. Tap the switch next to Firefox Focus on create default browser to turn it on (blue means on). This will open the Standard apps screen. Tap Browser app. Tap Firefox Focus to select it.

Thank you for using Firefox Keep it up.

Not what I mean.

Focus is my default browser. So, I do a search in Focus. Let's say, I search for an item and the first link is for the amazon listing. Right now, it takes me in Focus to amazon.

How do I get it to open the amazon app, which is preferred.

Hello there bigtrue. you can use this extension. To try to open your direct links that you want directly in the chosen app you want and not in the browser.
