A comment on Firefox 85.

I want to use firefox but I have a very stupid problem that makes it extremely annoying:

I have to use federation to login to slack. When Slack opens a page in the browser, that works fine, but then once I'm signed in it takes me to the web interface rather than opening the native client back up.

This isn't a tech support forum obviously but if someone had a hint of where to look, that'd be really helpful. I'm on ubuntu running i3.

Not on ubuntu but looked up in my settings how it is handled:

Preferences -> General -> Applications

Content Type: slack

Action: Use Slack

Do you have that setting?

Maybe need to modify your xdg-open settings for the slack:// scheme?

Maybe not helpful for you

I use slack as pinned tab on Firefox, and it runs OK. It's easier for me when doing context switching since most of my works are on the browser.
