At the time of writing (2026-06-18), Google Workspace appears to be starting to warn users from Firefox that they must use Chrome. This was for a Google Workspace Business Plus account and workspace, from an up to date browser and OS. At this time, Firefox access still seems to work but I’ve no idea for how long. | 📝 Update as of 15:31Z 2026-06-18 | Google support called and claim this will only happen for admins trying to access https://admin.google.com and that it isn’t blocking, it’s just a recommendation. They said they will not be documenting this publicly | | ——————————— | :———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- | https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#specific-warning Specific warning This was from a webpage with url https://access.workspace.google.com/remediate?urlparams=REDACTED Screenshot below https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#response-from-google-support Response from Google support Absolutely nothing useful, repeatedly transferred around and took ages. «««< HEAD «««< Updated upstream ======= https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#emailed-update-from-their-support-after-they-called-me Emailed update from their support after they called me https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#im-publishing-this-in-full-none-of-this-actually-addresses-the-issue-or-answers-anything-i-asked-on-the-call I’m publishing this in full, none of this actually addresses the issue or answers anything I asked on the call https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#emailed-update-from-their-support Emailed update from their support I’m publishing this in full, none of this actually addresses the issue https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#why-do-i-care Why do I care? My team need to make sure that their software works in multiple browsers, and I personally prefer using firefox and don’t want to be forced to use Chrome for no discernable benefit. https://tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/google-workspace-threatening-to-block-firefox.html#okay-but-didnt-your-admin-configure-enterprise_feature Okay, but didn’t your admin configure $enterprise_feature Sadly not, I’m the admin and can confirm the following • We haven’t configured, and don’t use IAP (Identity Aware Proxy) - I’ve used this before and yes that is Chrome only due to how it does device verification • This isn’t because of “Context Aware Access” this is an enterprise only feature, and we’re on Google Workspace Business Plus •
