This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.
If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I’ll make a point to update later.
This is an issue with android file handling, not jerboa. You linked something that has a pdf uri, but isn’t actually a pdf.
I’m not the only one, links from justice.gov aren’t working as expected via Jerboa…

Go to android settings > default apps > opening links > and unclick wps office or whatever it’s opening in
No defaults even set, it’s Jerboa forcing that.
Oh that’s fun, Android 11 doesn’t even have a Default Apps menu…
It might be a little different. Try Settings-> Apps & Notifications -> Advanced -> Default apps
On my Android 11 devices, I don’t have any overall Default Apps menu, I get ‘Open By Default’ in the individual app settings on a per-app basis. So yeah that makes configuring apps extra fun ya know… /s
Either way, Fennec is configured as my default browser, and WPS Office isn’t configured for default anything. Hell, I don’t even use WPS Office, the app is just there as it came with my tablet.
Ok. When I copy and paste the link outside of Jerboa, it works just fine and exactly as expected.
But to tap the link here in Jerboa, it finds their HTML redirect shit to ask if I’m 18 or over, but since it’s not actually a PDF document, it errors out and says Invalid Format.
This is NOT an Android issue, this is indeed a Jerboa issue, as I can simply copy/paste the link into a web browser and it just works, as expected.
But tapping the link within Jerboa tries to force-feed an HTML age verification page through a PDF link, which apparently messes up the whole show…
