If Firefox is running in the background, the embedded browser will work. If not, it will not. I've tested this on two different phones running Android 8.0.0 and 8.1.0. This works fine if Chrome is the default and the "Powered by Chrome" embedded browser is used.

Repro steps:

Working: 

* Open app with web links in content for ex. GMail or a reddit browser
* Open Firefox
* Switch back to content app
* Click link
* Observe embedded browser working

Non-working: 

* Ensure Firefox is closed from multi-tasking view
* Open app with web links in content for ex. GMail or a reddit browser
* Click link
* Observe embedded browser displaying white screen and loading bar that never moves
