Isisombululo esikhethiwe

It seems to be part of Google's strategy for world domination to withhold some features from other browsers. I don't know whether there is a workaround to force Search Tools to display in Firefox mobile, but you could try the strategy adopted by another user facing a feature deficit and use the Phony extension to lie to sites about what browser you're using.
