The mabile version of a website often has fewer functionalities than the Desktop version, and sites such as Google Form require mobile client to switch to certain apps or to have certain local services ready. These problems can be bypassed with the "Desktop Site" option provided by the browser.
However, this option becomes unavailable before connection on Fenix, as a tab seems not to be "truely" created untill the Enter is hit in the address bar.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Fenix from F-Droid or Aurora store
  2. Open the app
  3. Tap the "+" or "+ Private Tab" button to create a tab
  4. Tap the three-dotted menu icon to see the menu

Expected behavior

Option that allows user to visit a website as a desktop client (which is available on Fennec)

Actual behavior

Such option does not appear in the menu untill the connection is established.

Workaround

Type and connected to about:blank and use the then-available option.

Device information

  • Android device: Android 10 (kernel: 4.9.186-perf+)
  • Fenix version: 81.1.5 (Build #2015769595)
