since this list is silently supressing messages with screenshots
and i realized now that my one days ago also was supressed

all i can say is find about:config in the extended preferences and
look if there are protocol handlers for http/https and change them
to whatever you want

ANY SYSTEM-SETTING is no longer relevant if they are present

network.protocol-handler.app.http
network.protocol-handler.app.https

it is general a good idea to learn about preferences of used applications
