Google Play Store blocked Firefox for Android (most likely by mistake)
Firefox developers are discussing bug 1131601 , because of which Firefox is blocked in the app store. When contacting the address play.google.complay.google.com comes 403 Forbidden , based on the wrong User Agent. On the screen is:
This browser is no longer supported. Please use the Google Play Store app to access Google Play.
Naturally, conspiracy theories immediately went, because 3 months ago Mozilla abandoned Google as the main search engine in Firefox. Allegedly, Google is taking revenge - and the company has found a reason to declare Firefox for Android "obsolete." ')
Google sent letters to some media ( one more ) that “will soon” release an update.
But the source of the problem is still not entirely clear.
