It denies mobile. I was using Firefox. Same as Reddit, anything to try to force an app download.

I just tried it again on desktop and it worked, but the reason was that I downloaded an extension a while ago and forgot about it. When I disabled the extension, it stopped working.

There used to be a way to enable installing any extension on mobile FFx Dev, but I'm not sure if that still works. The desktop extension just changes the user agent string, so that might be another route to enabling it.

I downloaded Firefox Nightly on my phone about a week ago so that I can change my user agent string to get Google to stop F'ing up YouTube pages, but it doesn't seem to work. I guess I'll look into that extension. Do you know what it's called?
