This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.
If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I’ll make a point to update later.
I’m not the only one, links from justice.gov aren’t working as expected via Jerboa…

Go to android settings > default apps > opening links > and unclick wps office or whatever it’s opening in
No defaults even set, it’s Jerboa forcing that.
What about in Fennec. Does it have the “open links in apps” setting?
Oh wait wait, you mean Fennec settings specifically…
Well shit, that setting does actually exist. My phone is set to Ask Each Time, pretty sure my tablet should be set the same, but I’ll have to check later when I get back home.
Thanks yet again for being helpful 👍
Were you able to confirm your tablet’s settings for Fennec?
Yes, Fennec on my tablet is configured the same way, to ask every time.
I dunno what’s up, but there’s apparently a borkup between the link handoff from Jerboa to Fennec… 🤷
Jerboa link taps never ask…
What about other PDF links? Where does this appear to open in for example? Within Jerboa? Fennec? Some other pdf viewer interface?
Another approach, have you tried any other Lemmy apps? Voyager has a progressive web app if you don’t want to install something. Open that in Fennec. Does the original age verification link work there? What about my wonderland one above?
Try opening the links through voyager in your stock browser on both devices
This might seem trivial or a lot of work and that’s fine. But it you still wanna figure this out it will help me, and I don’t think anyone else is trying to figure this out right now.
Edit: I see you have already done some further digging that I missed. I am still curious what is going on with your device however. I didn’t mean to discredit your work @Binette@lemmy.ml
Oh, the Voyager link you provided works fine through Jerboa. Awesome 👍
The real answer is why do some links posted within Jerboa not actually work within Jerboa?
Some tell me to switch to another Lemmy app, which indeed is an option. But I wanna see Jerboa development improve as well…
Your first link works properly in Jerboa 👍
But it’s not jacking the system with an HTML to ask if you’re 18 or older either. That’s where things seem to mess up.
No. But I’m currently on my Android phone right now, a literal piece of shit compared to my tablet at home right now, so settings may differ. I’ll check the tablet later.
All I get in settings on my POS phone is ‘Browser App: Yes’ and ‘Install Unknown Apps: Allowed’, of course to sideload APKs…
Oh that’s fun, Android 11 doesn’t even have a Default Apps menu…
It might be a little different. Try Settings-> Apps & Notifications -> Advanced -> Default apps
On my Android 11 devices, I don’t have any overall Default Apps menu, I get ‘Open By Default’ in the individual app settings on a per-app basis. So yeah that makes configuring apps extra fun ya know… /s
Either way, Fennec is configured as my default browser, and WPS Office isn’t configured for default anything. Hell, I don’t even use WPS Office, the app is just there as it came with my tablet.
