Voyager stopped opening in links in Firefox?

Did an update get pushed changing this is behavior? previously I have voyager set up to open all links in Firefox. I did t change anything but now it wants to open up everything in YT app. I use Firefox for ad blocker.

    I seem to remember YouTube links opening in my preferred browser (Orion). Now they go to YouTube, which I can’t stand. Went looking through the preferences and was met with this dilemma:

    Check what is able to open where in android settings. Anecdotally, it still works for me.

    Not exactly an answer to your question, but, I use this as a go between on Android for all links (set as default browser) and don’t experience the noted issue.

    Nothing should have changed regarding that code. But if you can verify it worked in an old version after downloading the older version than please create a bug in GitHub and I’ll check it out

      I am having a similar issue using my preferred browser. Why can’t I use it and have YouTube links open in my browser? I’m positive this used to work. Now I get this:

        Are you using android or iOS? Can you install older versions to see when it stopped working for you?

            So, the old phone is on iOS 17 (vs 18 on new) and Voyager 12.18.2. YouTube links do open in Orion. Oddly, the setting for Prefer native Apps is selected, and gives the same warning as the newer version. I wonder if I did something to force the links into Orion and just can’t remember what it was. If I figure it out I’ll report back again (I really dislike having to open links in YouTube app, I nearly always close it before the first ad even finishes).

            The warning says “Currently” as if there may be a possibility to enable the setting in the future—is there any work towards that being done?

            Thanks for the great app btw.

              Good info. I’ll try to take a look after the holidays. If you create a GitHub issue and just copy paste this then I’ll more likely remember haha
