Tapping url link does not switch to browser
What problem did you encounter
When tapping a url link (e.g. in Geary, Telegram, Tootle) on the Librem 5 the link opens a new tab in the Firefox but L5 will not switch to FF.
Is there a way to make L5 always switch to the browser when opening a url link?
What is the actual behaviour?
When tapping a url link (e.g. in Geary, Telegram, Tootle) on the Librem 5 the link opens as a new tab in Firefox (my default browser). L5 also switches to FF, if it is not open in the background, which is what I want. However, if FF is already open, the link opens as a new tab but L5 will not switch to FF. I have to open the app switcher and manually go to FF to see the url I just opened.
What is the expected behaviour?
Tapping a url link would switch to Firefox and show the requested url
How to reproduce
Open Firefox and switch to e.g. Tootle Tap a url link Wait for the Firefox app to come into focus
