At this point I always assume that it’s out of malice instead of incompetence. These kinds of smaller bugs for things that work by default are just too common for Google.

Yes - Google Cloud breaks console logins for Firefox on a regular basis. They’ll eventually respond to a bug report but it’s clearly not a priority, and that can’t be intentional when tiny open source projects have much better automated testing.

> Google also intentionally gimped the search results to an old mobile version when using Fx

I guess this is my reminder to mention once again that using a Chrome useragent on FF mobile gets you better search results. It's one of the extensions you can download on FF for Android right now, in fact.
