When I load google.co.uk in mobile mode and click on the hamburger icon on the top left of the page, instead of loading the side menu, the browser is automatically redirected to https://www.google.co.uk/mobile which essentially lists the Google Featured Apps for mobile.

However, if I type in news.google.com or news.google.co.uk in the address bar then the browser is able to load the Google news page without any issue.

This issue exists even when I disable all of the add-ons.

Had anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know of a fix?

HI Neil, No, but I have seen a stored mobile version of a site on the Android before. For example my bank site will store the mobile version from the cache. Try this:

  1. Open a new tab and look for the google.co.uk and hold and select remove.
  2. Visit the url to request a new entry.

Does it still resolve to the mobile version? If so, you can also tap the Firefox Menu and select "Request Desktop Site"
