Description

  • on the firefox version of the extension, it does not automatically switch from the shitty "shorts" page, to the real youtube page, UNLESS you switch to "desktop mode", but all other features (that i use anyway) seem to work as intended on both the mobile version, and the desktop version

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the Firefox version of the extension on YouTube's mobile site, comparing it with desktop mode and the working desktop version. Done means the extension automatically switches from the Shorts page to the regular YouTube page without requiring desktop mode.
