Confirmed and same issue with Firefox OS. With the following sequence: 1. Go to http://google.com/ 2. (Being redirected to your local google) Forcing google.com just for the sake of consistency. 3. Search for 'Onchi Koshiro' 4. The top menu before the search results is 4.1 On Opera: [Web] [Videos] [Images] [Shopping] [More] In the More Menu, there are additional options, the last one being [Search tools] giving access to time filtering. 4.2 On Firefox (Android): [Web] [Images] [More] In the More Menu, there are additional options BUT NOT search tools. There is an even more menu leading to a list of apps on a different page. 4.3 On Firefox OS: Same thing than 4.2

I noticed that the tablet UI seems to have a better google search experience than the phone UI. See bug #921536 comment #10 for details on a closely related problem with the google search page menu, and note the improvement in the behaviour of the "white menu bar below the search box that [now] offers many/all of the search customization options I get from desktop firefox"

Firefox Mobile 28 (the oldest version I can run on the x86 emulator) on tablet form-factor: WORKS So google search does seem to be offering a working page to tablet users, fwiw.

One thing I've noticed while spoofing the user agent: On some locales, not all advanced search options fit on the screen, especially in portrait mode. In Chrome, you can scroll that options bar left and right to access all options, however in Firefox, that doesn't work. The other thing is that the search button image doesn't display correctly, but that was already mentioned in bug 921532 Comment 14. And of course, for Firefox users search filtering is currently missing for the image search as well.

It seems like the scrolling problem and search button image problem are solved. I tried with Firefox 47-50. On Firefox 47 and 48, the advanced options cannot be scrolled, but it can be scrolled on 49 and 50. The search button image is displayed correctly from Firefox 47.

> it can be scrolled on 49 and 50.
This likely mean it depends on some prefixed event listeners that we added support for (that will ship in 49).

Spoofing UA to Chrome or the Android browser restores the full menu, so yes, Google is intentionally crippling functionality on Firefox for Android. Where would be the best place to complain about this?

Karl has started a discussion with Google, so hopefully they'll send us the same content that Chrome receives soon.
