I am using Firefox Nightly 119.0a1 (2023-09-04) on macOS 12.6.8 on an Intel 15' MBP.

When clicking on a link from an external app (eg. WhatsApp, Teams, etc.) with Firefox not running in the background, Firefox will open up but will not open the link. I have to go back to the app and click the link again for it to work.

This has been an issue for me for a while now and it only happens with Firefox as other browsers will work as expected.

Hi Daksh

Thank you for helping to test Firefox Nightly. I recommend that you file this as a bug for developers to look into. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
