    Unrelated to G Suite, Google search on mobile should work perfectly fine on Firefox, but Google has decided anyone not using chrome will get a “mobile” version of the site. There’s an addon that fixes that by just changing the user-agent string.

      From the description on Oct 5th, 2020 “Firefox engineers are working with Google to fix this situation, but it is unclear how long that process will take.”

      Is this addon really still necessary 3 years later? Have they done nothing to fix this officially?
