Developer response
posted 7 years agoIs there a Firefox for Android version 61.0.1? I don't see one, the latest I'm seeing is 61.0. I'm also not seeing any obvious problem on the nightly or beta builds.
Is it possible that you were trying to install it on the desktop release of Firefox, where this addon should not be needed? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14183715, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13767024, 7 years agoI use a widget to quickly type a search from my Android home screen, and it then performs a Google search using my default browser, Firefox.
For some reason, this search is performed before this add-on can load because I always get the crappy search page on the first search when Firefox itself wasn't already loaded.
It fixes itself if I simply reload the page, or perform a new search. I also get the same behavior with other similar add-ons. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13715303, 7 years ago

posted 7 years agoThanks for letting me know about this other addon! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but based on their source code, the differences are minor, but enough that I feel this is a worthwhile alternative:
- This addon specifically only overrides Google Search pages, not all Google apps/subdomains like maps (since they don't all need this treatment like Search does).
- This addon uses a tablet user-agent string if you're using Firefox on a tablet, rather than just always spoofing a phone user-agent string.
- This addon adds "FxQuantum/version" to the user-agent string it uses, so if anyone is paying attention they will know that you're not actually using Chrome (which may not achieve anything, but I still feel it's worth doing so).
- This addon keeps the major Chrome version number it uses equal to your running Firefox version plus 4, so the addon may not require as many updates (it should effectively always present itself like the latest version of Mobile Chrome).
- This addon overrides the user-agent string in not just the HTTP headers Google Search sees, but also its Javascripts' navigator.userAgent value. This may not make much of a difference, but I've seen instances in Google code in my day-job where they read both, so I kept it thorough. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13261758, 7 years ago
