Opening Android app from another Android doesn't create Saillfish window

Facebook -> Firefox:

  1. Open Facebook
  2. Open link in Firefox

Firefox -> PDF:

  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Open downloaded file in Adobe Reader.

Aptoid -> any app:

  1. Open Aptoide Store.
  2. Open installed app.

In all above examples only one Window is visible. This is a regression. Previously I was able to go back to the original app with Android multitasking button. Currently this is not possible.

It's even worse - when I try to open Firefox after that I cannot easily it also doesn't open a new window.

And yes - when you open link from Facebook with Firefox and then open PDF you still have a single window. So it's impossible to pick in the PDF and go back to Facebook to comment.
