When I tap to share a link from Firefox (private window) in my Android phone, for example into whatsapp, I get something like this:

The second link is a commercial from Firefox.

I don't use whatsapp, so can't test that, but sending to various other sharing "actions" e.g. thunderbird mobile, clipboard, android messages etc doesn't add the second link for me
 It seems odd that it would send different links to different actions?

Maybe because some apps break when you share two links. With whatsapp, there is one link above, and text below. An url in the text is ignored.
I just tried repeating the action with sending an RCS, did not happen. Nor in Telegram (in Telegram, the post is sent immediately, no chance to edit9. I don't have a dummy account in Signal to try.

 using FF mobile v138.0.2

Oh, I remembered that I use the private version of Firefox by default.
