How do I stop ebay's automatic redirect to its app?

I'm using Firefox on Android, and I deleted the eBay app a while ago, because I got tired of being automatically redirected to the app when looking at a listing from a google search. I'd click the link, and it would open the mobile page in firefox. 5 seconds later, it automatically opened up the app. Now, with the app gone, firefox doesn't understand the redirect link. How do I stop ebay from automatically redirecting me? I can't even read listings anymore, and it's beyond frustrating.

I did that on myself Samsung s7 but my new s10 doesn't have "open by default" available.  Anyone out there know how to do this on an s10?

From the App info page you may have to scroll down to see it, if it is there.

 

Here is how it looks on my Moto E4 (Android 7.1.1):

The s10 doesn't give me that option but after clearing cache it worked.  What a pain.

Simply go into the ebays website . At the very bottom you have two options either classic or mobile view. Click classic view and it should stay on your web browser.

 

Enjoy

Thank you, this has been driving me crazy for a long time. I prefer the browser for most things because I can use multiple tabs.
