A couple of weeks ago I decided to try out different browsers on my iPhone.

Currently trying Brave which is set to default browser.

However opening an email link (in Spark) opens it in Firefox.

Checked the default - it's Brave.

Deleted Firefox - Link opened in Brave.

Reinstalled Firefox - Link opened in Firefox.

Deleted Firefox again - don't want this to be permanent, but I'm still trying alternative browsers and can't if for some reason Firefox is hogging my links.

Ideas, suggestions - other than Firefox is wonderful why would you try an alternative

Hi Nick,

Can you provide more information about your environment? iOS and Firefox version to be exact.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this in my Firefox 33, iOS 14.4.2.

Unfortunately, I still couln't replicate this even when I try with the same email client and browser you mentioned above.

Can you see if restarting your device can cure the problem?
