Reverse of mobile's desktop mode for desktop version?
Recently I came to one site that:
- works on Android version of FF in modile (defailt) mode;
- breaks on Android version of FF in desktop mode;
- breaks on Desktop version of FF in default mode;
- breaks on Desktop version of FF in responsive desidn mode (in all available "devices").
So my question is: is it possible to emulate mobile (default) mode of Android version in Desktop version of FF?

The different appearance of Google search results on Firefox Android is entirely due to the useragent and is why Google Search Fixer exists. The following useragent applied with User-Agent Switcher will give you the same appearance on desktop Firefox.

Hi
That sounds a bit strange, I would be keen to learn more about this. What is the address of the website that you are trying to view?

This happend to me on vidyard.com while attempting to view videos ("problem occured, please try again later"). I already contacted their support, but the fact of such differences is a different matter.
I also tried to use custom user agent strings together with responsive design mode, but got nowhere.
I found a public video using the vidyard player that works for me, does it work for you? https://video.vidyard.com/watch/1GhS9iy9saFmmZSxatNUcc
Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

How is it related to my question?
There shouldn't be a need to emulate Android to get videos to work on desktop. An example allows others to investigate the issue.
Do you see the same error for the above linked video? If not, can you provide a link to a video that is publicly accessible where you see the error?

That's not the point of my question. Vidyard was just example to demonstrate the problem described in question. As another example I can provide Google search. It does work in all modes, but they have different layout.
