[Android] Deep links aren't opening apps

What happened?

Hi! I started using Waterfox and I'm enjoying it a lot. There's an extension I use a lot on mobile, which is Obsidian Web Clipper, which basically opens a deep link of Obsidian. When I tested with Waterfox, it didn't open - which is something that happened on Firefox 140.0 as well, here is the bug I opened on Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1974569bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1974569

Disclaimer: it doesn't affect only Obsidian deep links, but all deep links, including mailto and tel.

Indeed, it seems that the mobile version (did not try the desktop one) is using 140 as base, and even being 140.4 (I think?) It still has this issue.

I wasn't sure if I should open the issue on this repository, or on the Android one, but it seems that, unfortunately, the Android issues aren't being replied/noticed, and I believe this could possibly include the desktop as well.

As the fix would be "just" upgrading the base, I wanted to know if that's in the plans, or a roadmap for that. Or, possibly, bring the fixes made on Firefox to the fork.

Thanks!

1.1.5 (Build #2025412524) GV: 140.4.0-20251014112400 AS: 140.0 OS: Android 15
