To make this work on Firefox mobile, first activate desktop mode, and then click on any link.

Can't really understand why a perfectly capable device is access denied without such trick, it clearly works.

Google does this with several of their sites, intentionally making them worse on Firefox (Desktop or Mobile). Firefox Mobile actually already fakes a Chrome Mobile UA in some situations to get around that.

Examples include the Google Search, Google Maps, or YouTube.

I simply configured via about:config the above mentioned UA faker for Google’s sites to fake Chrome’s UA.

We're in for a sequel of "Only works in MSIE." Brace yourselves.
Just take a look at Signal Desktop, WhatsApp Desktop’s Beta, Google Inbox during the Beta, or nowadays Google Earth.
