I have been trying to use the mobile version of support.mozilla.org for quite some time (because I use a custom user-agent on my browser, the mobile site is the one that is presented to me by default).

Although I can view posts on the site, I cannot perform any "write" actions (e.g. marking an answer as helpful, marking a question as "I too have this problem", answering a question, or even signing up via the mobile page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/register?&mobile=1); whenever I try to perform one of the above, I am redirected to a 403 error page stating that I do not have permission to perform that action (for the first 3 examples, even when I am already logged in via my support account; as for the registration, it doesn't make sense at all, as I should not need to possess any "permissions" in order to initiate a signup request).

In fact I am currently typing this post on the mobile "ask a question" page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/mobile/other/form?search=&step=aaq-question) and I am pretty sure the submission of the question would fail; in that case I would re-post this via the desktop site, stating the fact.

So, in summary, is the mobile site no longer supported, i.e. is it limited to archive-type (view-only) functionality?

Strangely, the question got posted via the mobile site :)

Still, the other operations remain unusable on the mobile site. For example I just tried marking the "solution" of the following question as helpful, which failed with the same 403 error:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963617


Here's a trace of the request and the response (reconstructed based on info available via the browser):
