Firefox showing different layout for some websites - General Questions and Answers

see the screenshots for example.
on chrome or opera, google's homepage looks and feels like using the google app.
but on firefox, it looks like some java phone's layout.
the "three bar" on the left corner reloads a new page on firefox while on chrome/ opera, it instantly shows the contents hidden in there.
same difference can also be found on facebook mobile site.
I thought the problem occurs because of the user agent (UA) of firefox. so I downloaded a few UA changing add-on for firefox and put the exact UA of chrome. still no changes on websites.
is firefox compressing data just like this?
or it doesn't support javascript or whatever to show a full webpage?
is there any way to enable full site viewing on firefox?
(like tweaking about:config)

Yes. The app's google homepage and search result pages are not updated/Looking like the latest designs.
I think its related to the apps devolopment? Because on my PC Mozilla/Chrome shows me the exact same page designs of google.

[APP] Choose Browser - Share a link from any app, and choose a browser to open it in

hello xda. here's a new app i whipped up this afternoon. sometimes i'll be viewing a web page in a browser, and i decide i want to open it in a different browser. maybe the page looks funny in this browser, or it has video in it, and i want to use skyfire to watch it. how do you open a page you're already viewing in another browser? well, you could copy and paste the url, but that's more work than it should be.
now you can use Choose Browser. if you "share" a page or link from any app, you can select Choose Browser, then you will be presented with a list of installed browsers. see the screenshot. you can share a link from one browser to another. you can share a link from, say, your RSS reader, and choose which browser to open it in. you get the idea. it's nothing fancy, but it saves you a few steps.
the app should work on any version of android. it's free, with no ads. please test it and post feedback.
Great idea, works fine for me.

Choose Browser is now available in the Android Market!

Q - Browser - opening links on Marshmallow

Hello
I updated yesterday my GS6 on Marshmallow and i have a question for all those who are using MM on their devices( no matter if Samsung or not), i noticed that when i open a link in an app(no matter what app) the prompt doesn't have 'JUST ONCE' or 'ALWAYS'(like on Lollipop), it makes as the default browser the first one i choose. On Lollipop i chose 'JUST ONCE' all the time and it was useful because when i wanted to open a link for ex. in Facebook, i opened with Flynx, links in Feedly with Chrome etc., now, if i open a link with Flynx(or Chrome,Firefox etc.) it opens all future links with the same app, without prompting me like in Lollipop. If i want to open the same link with another browser i have to clear the defaults of the first app i have chosen.
I've set the browser to none in the defaults apps,with the hope that it will prompt me like on LP, but it propmts me like in the second screenshot i attached, after selecting a browser, it's like having a single browser LOL, is this Google's implementation or Samsung's? i've found an article on android police that describes exactly the issue i have
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...ow-and-its-why-your-defaults-are-misbehaving/
but it was for MM Beta and i thought this issue was resolved. Is this behaviour present on any of your devices that runs MM?
Here are the differences between Lollipop(first) and MM(second) the third screenshot is with all browsers defaults cleared, but if i open a link with any browser, it auto-defaults as the default browser( in this case,Fynx, 4-th screenshot)

Opening links (provide options or open links from specific apps in specific browsers)

Hi,
So yesterday my Pixel 2 XL got majorly corrupted so I had to re-install everything from scratch including a full wipe and today I re-installed everything but I'm having issues with opening links now...
Before if I opened a link it would ask me if I wanted to open it in Firefox or Chrome, 90% of the time I would open them with Chrome however links from one specific app I open in Firefox mainly because of adblock on Firefox.
How do I get my phone back to either asking what browser I would like to open the links in or better yet make it so all links from a specific app open in Firefox and every other link/app opens in Chrome?
I've checked WebView, Chrome, Firefox and the app I use and there are no "Default Open with" setup on any of them...
Thanks

How can I un-app-ify a website on Chrome for Android?

Hi folks...
So some websites do things to Chrome on Android that I don't like.
In particular:
1. Some sites, when launched from a link on the Home Screen, launch into a mode without any browser controls
2. Some sites don't let me add a link to the Home Screen, but only let me run it "as an app"
Is there any way around these sorts of things?
That is, I want to add a link to the Home Screen that will ALWAYS launch in full browser mode.
Or I want to add a link to the Home Screen for sites that seem to force Chrome to favor running "as an app".
Some news sites I frequent do the 1st thing.
outlook.com (which I use for work) does the 2nd thing.
I'd like them to behave like regular websites, and launch in full browser mode in Chrome from a Home Screen icon/link. Is there any way to force this, does anyone know?
If I'm using the wrong terminology, please let me know. I'm not sure if these sites are running a Chrome App, or an Instant App, or somehow otherwise force Chrome to behave differently.
Thanks much!

Question Twitter-as-a-webapp via Firefox is unusable it's so slow

Hi everyone,
I use the Twitter app for one of my accounts, but since I like to quick-switch between them, I've resorted to using Firefox and I've installed a shortcut to the Twitter web page on my OnePlus 9 homescreen.
I know I could switch between accounts in the app itself, but I don't like it. I'd rather use two different apps, one for each of my Twitter accounts.
Problem is, unless I do two things I really, REALLY don't like (use the default system launcher AND use Chrome instead of Firefox), the user-experience of this setup is disastrous.
Scrolling up and down my timeline in the Firefox pinned shortcut is painfully slow, more often than not I have to tap a Like or Retweet button several times for the action to register, and generally speaking, it's no fun to use at all, regardless of the power setting I use.
I want to use Firefox because it has add-ons I like, such as uBlock Origin (bye-bye promoted tweets!) and NoScript, which, to my knowledge, can't be installed on any other Android Web browser (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Of course, it works flawlessly in Chrome or any other Chromium-based browser, but seeing all those promoted tweets just makes me nauseous...
(As for the default/system launcher, I just don't like it: the app drawer can't be customized worth a lick, and though it feels fast, it's just not my cup of tea.)
I've tried all the Android flavors of Firefox (stable, beta, Dev Edition), the result is the same.
Am I missing something here? Have you guys experienced the same issues, and if so, how did you solve them?
EDIT: I've installed Friendly for Twitter and it seems OK. Any users around to share feedback?

Thanks, but that is mean the phone has to be rooted?
I may have found the reason why it was so slow: I chose 1.1.1.1 as specified DNS (in fact it's "1dot1dot1dot1.com") and that must have messed up how Twitter works in Firefox, because right now, that shortcut on my homescreen works fine, albeit a bit more slowly than the Twitter app.
