Mull (Firefox Fork) doesn't load Google.com. Switching useragent to Chrome "solves the issue" (streamable.com)

Today, I noticed that Google wasn't loading on Mull (Firefox Fork). Switching useragent with the extension Chameleon makes the page load again.

While your statement is true, I install Firefox on any computer I support (family & friends) because I understand it better, can talk them through stuff on the phone and so I can install an ad blocker and not.have to deal with all of that. So now I need to explain to family and friends that Google is to blame, but they don't care and ask me to install "the normal browser". Ugh.

Also, I now have to deal with the Google-heads at work using this as an example of how chrome is the superior browser. Double ugh.
