How do you test something like this internally?

Oftentimes a team at Google doesn't have the QA resources to test configuration X. In that case to avoid a potentially bad experience, feature Y is often gated to tested configs and and disabled for X, leaving X with the old experience since it had been tested on X.
Why does QA test only Chrome? Well if there is only enough QA time to test one browser, imagine having to be the guy to explain to the higher ups why it wasn't chrome.
I find it surprising that an organization the size of Google doesn't have the resources to test key features in such a notable browser.
Though I just searched and it seems Firefox has a shockingly low market share in mobile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
Perhaps that's why it's not given the attention it needs, how unfortunate.

>AMP isn't available on mobile firefox
>it's Google's fault somehow
Is this just begging for karma? There isn't even version or OS info. How is anyone going to actually discuss this other than just arguing blindly?
I created a new account to post this, so I have no interest in Karma.
It was just something that I noticed when I switched from mobile Chrome to Firefox. You don't have to discuss this blindly, just pull your phone and test for yourself, it'll only take you 2 seconds.
My phone has Android 8.0, Firefox Mobile 68.0
