Detect which browser to open

I have both Firefox and Opera browsers on my phone. Neither is set as the default browser. When you wanted me to open my Firefox or other supported browser, you could have detected that I have Firefox for Android installed and opened that one. But you opened the Opera browser instead. So since it wasn't a supported browser I had to copy and paste the URL I was trying to open into the Firefox browser that it had opened and you couldn't work with. If only you had some way of detecting if I had the supported browsers available, you could have opened the Firefox browser.

Hi Steve

This article will help you to set Firefox for Android as the default web browser on your Android device:

I am aware of how to set whichever browser I choose as my default. However, I haven't done it yet as I don't want either browsers to be a default browser. I have most websites that will detect my 2 browsers, and then ask me which I want to open. The point is you keep control of your phone, PC, laptop, whatever to yourself. I don't want Firefox as my default because some websites work better with one browser over another one. I should be able, if there's no default set, to allow me to select which browser I want to work with for that particular website.
