They detect sharing on WhatsApp and inject the tracking link only on that case. It didn’t do this yesterday so there’s a chance it’s on a/b testing
I see you took the screenshot on your phone, I just tried it on mine and had no issues getting the proper link, even after updating it as I wrote this comment.
Can you describe more about where you encountered it?

You sure it’s not WhatsApp that’s link-shortening?

Yes because the option to remove the advertisement link is inside Firefox. It might be that meta and Mozilla got some monetary agreement and this is even worse

Ah, I missed that part of the conversation

It’s only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you’re sharing to WhatsApp…

If the link it’s the same for everyone then they should have definitely used firefox.com or a dedicated domain, not domain.tld/garbage

Ah interesting!
That explains why I don’t see it!
