That URL won't work as a clickable link in Firefox desktop either, how are you navigating to that URL? We are mostly trying to match desktop, except we don't support copy+pasting these URLs into the URL bar, which is currently due to a technical limitation we might try to overcome.

I set homepage and newtab in settings to the data url I created, it was great until now, it went blank in new versions. I used Firefox app as my session-only notepad with zoom support. I'm deaf and it was my way to communicate with people. It's made up of data URL to the colorful notepad using contenteditable body with style. I hope you can return this kind of function I want.

@garvankeeley I am seeing that the link from the description is working in Firefox Focus.

Copy to notes : data:text/html,%3Chtml%3E%3Cstyle%3Ehtml%2Cbody%7Bbackground-color%3A%23009900%3Bcolor%3A%2300ff00%3B%7D%3C%2Fstyle%3E%3Cbody+contenteditable%3ESuccess%3C%2Fbody%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E
Tap the "Share" button
Select Firefox Focus

Actual results:

In Firefox Focus iOS, following the steps, will renders HTML from data url.
In Firefox iOS, following the steps, will result in a google search of the link.

Not sure if we should mimic Focus or Firefox but we should be consistent. What's your opinion @garvankeeley ?
