Hi,
Could you please share an example of such a link?
I have this issue as well.
Example link: https://share.google/fR6dp1EqgyWuYqCzz (link is to a product page on a Dutch warehouse website)
An archived post on this forum from 2024 indicates this has to do with Google itself and it not handling the user agent string well. https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1436103
The post says Google resolved it, but either the issue came back or wasn't fixed.
Installing the Google Search Fixer add-on resolved the issue for me.

This link opens in Firefox for me. Please try clearing Firefox cache and clearing cookies and data for the Google (warning: this will log you out).
