Firefox android doesn't support Google drive desktop mode. When I request desktop site for google drive, it shows a webpage which asks to update the browser or use a different one. I don't want to switch to any other browsers like chrome. need help.

Hi

I have just opened that same support page as well as Google Drive itself using Firefox Preview and it opened correctly as a mobile page.

What is the device that you are using?

Hi,

I don't know why but when I tried it again today on firefox preview, it started working. Maybe it has got fixed in an update. Anyways, can we expect it to get fixed on firefox (default one) android as well ?
