Firefox fails to open the appropriate app based on the link like Google play, youtube... instead it shows a pop-up "this link needs to be opened with an application"

How do I fix this? 


p.s: this is a fresh install

if I open that link on firefox for android I get that message. If I open it on Chrome, it opens Play Store app for me.

The site treats tablet Firefox different from phone Firefox due to some user agent sniffing. Looking at what the site is doing.
