Links from other apps fail to open in Orion if Orion not already running
Vlad gotcha, thanks.
Vlad changed the title to Links from other apps fail to open in Orion if Orion not already running .
When clicking a URL in an app other than Orion, and if Orion is not already open, then Orion opens without loading the clicked URL. Instead, the last open tab loads back up. If I then go back to the other app to click the link again, then it will open in Orion.
I expect clicking a link in a non-Orion app to open Orion (when set to default browser) and then load the URL in a new tab.

Steps to replicate the issue:
- Use other apps than Orion for a while.
- Click a link from an app, like Mail or Discord.
It switches to Orion, but doesn't open the link. - Switch back to the other app and click the link again.
This time it switches to Orion and opens the link.
OR
- In Orion, click a link.
It puts the URL in the address bar, but doesn't open the page. - Click Go.
It then does go to the page.
Desired functionality:
- Use other apps than Orion for a while.
- Click a link from an app, like Mail or Discord.
It should switch to Orion and open the link.
OR
- In Orion, click a link.
It should go to the page.

When scanning a QR with my camera this is most noticeable, Orion sometimes does not open the link that came from the qr I scanned, a second scan nearly always makes it work but it is a nuisance as it means I have to scan most QR codes twice
I expect the link to open in Orion the first time I scan it. I think it might have something to do with restarting Orion once it has been shelved by iOS

You can see the first time it does nothing, but once it’s running, the second time it works - the page didn’t load but that was only because I had poor signal. I think it should work the first time I scan it.

If the Orion app is closed and set as default browser, and you follow a link from some other app, Orion will open but will just stay with whatever page you had open, and not load the link. You have to switch back to the app and tap the link again, and then it opens the page.
Fairly easy to replicate, just kill Orion and open a link in some other app.
You follow a link and Orion will cold start and open the URL.

Seems like an annoying issue, we will prioritize as soon as new desktop release gets out.
I am opening google docs links on iOS and for some reason they open in Orion itself instead of opening in the app, despite the fact that I have corresponding "Open Links in Apps" setting enabled and Google Docs app installed.
I would expect these links to open in the native iOS app instead of being viewed in Orion.

- Open website "A", like https://www.bbc.com
- Close Orion by sliding up
- Click an URL in another app to open Orion again
- Orion quickly shows the clicked URL but then jumps to bbc again
- It should just open the clicked URL

Set Orion as the default browser. Clicking a link in iOS in a non-Orion app brings Orion to the front, but it doesn’t open the link. Returning to the original app and clicking the link a second time does work as expected.

I have Orion as my default iOS browser. Often if I click a link from other applications it opens Orion but the tab loads the previously visited link. I need to go back to the other application and click it again for it to work.
When I click a link outside of Orion, it should open that link, whether in a new tab or in the existing tab, not re-load the last visited page.
