Links in WA messages open in WA for me. How can I make them open in Firefox e.g.?

It seems that you have to copy and paste a link into the address bar of your Firefox.

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.
The minimalist app available on Play Store: https://goo.gl/ws42fN

I've discovered since that it seems to happen with certain bbc.co.uk URLs.

To Open the links you can simply follow these steps:-
Step 1: Tap the menu button ( The three horizontal colons )
Step 2: Tap Settings.
Step 3: Scroll down to the advanced section, next to Open links in apps use the slider button to turn this ON.

I already had that ON. The problem is that, when I tap on this link in WhatsApp, it appears to open my BBC app within the WhatsApp app!!
