Steps to reproduce:

(initially reported on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1956005)

When using the Firefox snap, clicking a hyperlink to api.whatsapp.com
shows a dialog that offers to use the "System Handler" to open the link,
whereas when using e.g. the deb package on Ubuntu, Firefox doesn't try
to delegate opening the link to an external handler.

Example link:
https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=+1234567890&text=foobar&app_absent=0
