birdsite, not directed at anyone specific 

I'm getting tired of people using fxtwitter for linking to tweets. It's fine when I browse on my PC but on mobile it is a pain, and it's even worse when they're linked on telegram. The links just don't open up properly and sometimes I have to wait for the redirect to load properly in the first place which can take a while on mobile data. I'm not logged in on the website either so when it doesn't load in the app it's a huge pain because I can not interact with the linked tweet without then opening the page in Firefox then tapping an additional menu button to launch the page in the app.

@Violet what browser are you using? it's annoying but opening in the app works for me with Firefox

@noiob I'm also using Firefox. I have to open in browser first before i get a button to open the link in the app

@Violet you can set ff to auto-reditect to apps but it's not a great solution

@noiob yeah.. I have that turned off because sometimes I do prefer seeing the website view of some sites first before being forced into the apps

@Violet there should be a way to have a list of websites auto-redirect

@noiob I will look into that

@Violet no I mean they should add that to the app, sorry
