open spotify links in desktop

[twin agate]

I once told firefox to NOT open spotify links in desktop app. Now I want to do exactly that, but firefox doesn't ask anymore 😦

@twin agate check your settings

[twin agate]

well i did

but i couldn't find a setting that sounded like it would fix my issue

[torn pawn]

its on the first settings tab under Applications

searched spotify, wasn't there. i didn't find a way to add something to the list

[torn pawn]

ok cool im apparently banned off of the "spotify is banned" page

definitely not a worthy music service but you do be you

its one of the websites that are set to open in firefox, look for that

i found that earlier, didn't have anything i could use

[torn pawn]

could try clearing spotify cookies or in-browser settings

[twin agate]

did that already

[torn pawn]

i have no idea how that popup looks or what its provided by, and spotify does not want me to find out, do you have a screenshot of it

[twin agate]

sadly not, sorry

[torn pawn]

could use this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/spotfy-links-in-spotify-app/

tho beware, its source code is gone

Solved the issue - in-case anyone comes across it themselves and finds this post, the solution for me was to open a spotify link in firefox, then on the spotify webplayer there is an options menu, in that menu there is a choice to "open in desktop app", when I clicked on that Firefox took me to a page where I had to give permissions for Firefox to open the spotify application.

After I gave Firefox that permission, it now opens any open.spotify.com links and immediately opens the spotify application at the correct page.

only works for open.spotify.* and play.spotify.*
