For me, both of those functions open the link in the built-in browser. Is this a common problem?

    Do you have the app internal browser enabled? Open link shows it in the app browser, open link external pops it open in firefox

      so it was initially enabled. now that i disabled it, it always (both with open link and external) opens links in firefox. not the behavior i would have expected, but this is fine since I mostly want links to open in firefox anyway. thanks

        Oh sorry I misread, so it always opened internally regardless of that setting? That could be worth a bug report on their repo if you have the time (and can reliably reproduce the behaviour). Could be a quirk with Firefox for Android as well, though.

    Try on a shared image. One should open in the app, the other in the browser.

    Perhaps there will be an internal Webview implementation one day.
