Sharing from in-app browser is null

When I open a link in an app that uses an in-app browser view of Firefox (as opposed to sending me over to opening a new tab in Firefox) sometimes I will want to share that link to a social media app or text it to a friend. But when I tap the share button and choose an app to share with, it gives me null share content. In order to successfully share the link, I have to have the in-app version of Firefox open the page in the full Firefox app, then share it from there.

Clear the cache and data of the Firefox app and the app you are using for sharing. Make sure Firefox and the app you're sharing from are updated to the latest version. If that doesn't work use any alternate browser.
