I got this shit, just like I get no ability to change any search settings or do an advanced Google search on Firefox mobile, and am now spoofing Chrome as useragent.

In my opinion, Firefox should do what Chrome did, and append the competing browser’s UA to their own useragent.

In the case of Firefox for Android, there is already a rapidly growing blacklist of sites that get their UA spoofed to Chrome.
You might want to add webp support to Firefox for Android then, and just spoof star.google.com/whatever TLD they support and star.youtube.com, too.

(Replace "star" with *, as HN doesn’t support any proper escaping or markdown. This kind of bullshit is what makes this page so horrible to use)

FWIW, you can enter things like that on HN by treating it as "code" -- skip a line and indent the next by two spaces
