User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 7.0; Mobile; rv:63.0) Gecko/63.0 Firefox/63.0 Steps to reproduce: downloaded an apk and opened it through the downloads section of Firefox instead of clicking the navigation item Actual results: it asked me how to open it one choice: a text editor the other one: a ticket app for events and flights (passbook, qr code) Expected results: it should have started the apk installer instead

Thank you for your report! I couldn't reproduce this issue on the latest beta/nightly/release builds with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Android 8.1.0), every time after I gave the permission to install app's from unknown sources, I was able to install the apk. Can you please mention what device, android version and build you used? Also, did you downloaded the build from http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/? Thanks, Andrei

I'm using the current Nightly from the play store on Android 7 (not up to date) on a oneplus 3T I'm downloading the vlc nightly for arm v8 https://nightlies.videolan.org/ I made a Screencapture so you can see what I mean: https://youtu.be/wpN8vyRqrOk I haven't tested what happens, when neither quickedit nor pass2u are installed

I think this is an issue with Android, not fennec.
Summary: apk download → Apk downloaded by Fennec don't open in the google play app

I agree with Comment 3, based on some testing depending on the Android version of the device you could either install it or not. Closing this issue.

Thank you for looking into it. Opening apks from the download manager of Android works fine and installing apks from F-Droid works fine as well. Chrome does it right as well. It could very well be a bug in Android that all of these work around or it's a bug in Firefox implementation. Most of all I wanted to report this behaviour. If it's not that important, then you might as well leave it as it is. The problem doesn't bother me, I just wanted to give you a chance to fix it.
