Example link: https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=+1234567890&text=foobar&app_absent=0 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1956005/comments/9 ** Changed in: firefox Status: Unknown => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956005 Title: Firefox Snap won't open links to WhatsApp API Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The .deb version of Firefox handles links to WhatsApp API (https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=....) without any problem: these links open the WhatsApp web client. Snap version of Firefox doesn't know how to handle these links. It opens the pop up "Choose an application to open whatsapp lnks" that only shows the option System Handler (which fails opening them if selected). Choosing Firefox is not possible as /bin and similar folders are out of range for the snap.
