I recently ran into what I presume is a edge case- albeit an annoying one. If the last tab opened in Firefox is a deep link that launches an app on my device, when Firefox gets suspended or closed, when it reopens, the deep link reloads and takes me to the other app. Trying to resume Firefox retriggers the deep link, sending me again to the other app. This cycle effectively blocks me from using Firefox unless I go into settings and wipe the data. I want deep links to launch normally, but not after they've already launched the first time. Is it possible to not reload deep links when resuming Firefox?

Hi

Have you tried this in Firefox Preview - our new Android browser? Although it is still under construction, it is a preview of how this would work in the future.
