Thanks, @gcp for this!

I can reproduce the issue on Windows too!

Moving to NeedsDiagnosis.

This is a server-side redirect. Any Fennec UA I throw at it does an immediate 302 redirect to the fallback page. We'll have to contact Google and get them to determine what's broken on their end.

Edit: I've just contacted Google to investigate this.

Edit #2: Google has logged the issue internally.

The issue is still reproducible on my side.

Tested with:
Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 68.0a1 (2019-06-07)
Operating System: LG G5 (Android 8.0.0) - 1440 x 2560 pixels (~554 ppi pixel density), Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android 8.0.0) - Resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels (~534 ppi pixel density)

Seeing if we can get a follow up on this.

So, on desktop it's redirecting to https://www.google.com/locationhistory/delete when I'm using my mozilla gmail account both in Firefox and Chrome:

The redirect is not happening when I'm using my personal gmail account on desktop, it works as expected.

So I've looked into adding an override for Firefox for Android. The only issue I've noticed is that when trying to tap a red dot with location, it won't get highlighted. It takes 3 or 4 taps to make the name appear, or sometimes it doesn't appear at all.
This is the expected behavior:

We still can add the override since, perhaps, this experience is better than nothing.
