"Open links in apps" sets to "Never" still asks for confirmation "Open in another app" popup message

I want to NOT open links in external apps, so I set the option "Open links in apps" to "Never", however Firefox keeps asking of I want to open the link in another app, so there is no difference with "ask before opening" option". Is there any way to not open links in apps without Firefox asking for confirmation?

Hi

I hope you do not mind me asking, but what is the link that you are trying to open within Firefox for Android?

Hi, sure, no problem. For instance: https://www.mercadolibre.com.co/ https://www.aliexpress.com/

Do you have the apps for these sites on your device?

Mercadolibre yes, it's installed and disabled the app setting to open links on it. Aliexpress is not installed
