Desktop website due to "Tablet" string in the user agent #28258
Comments
It is because of the Tablet in the user agent. How are you triggering that or did you use something to override the user agent? Are you using the Mozilla build of Firefox or a fork? |
I want to believe my browsing issues are because of the Tablet identifcation in the user-agent. I am using Firefox Nightly installed from the Google Play Store. No funny business. no mods. I run a vanilla Pixel 6, not rooted or anything fancy. |
I have Chrome, normal Firefox, Firefox Focus to prove and troubleshoot my issue and they all return as Mobile. Firefox Nightly is the only browser returning as Tablet. |
Thanks for reporting this bug. This is probably a regression from the code change in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1798617. I'll move this bug report from GitHub to Bugzilla and assign it to an engineer. |

@Akraz86 Firefox QA is not able to reproduce this bug on a Google Pixel 6. Are you using a non-default display resolution for your Pixel 6? Can you copy the text from your Firefox's |
Hello No my phone is pretty vanilla. Here is my about support paste Troubleshooting Information All Crash Reports This application has not been configured to display crash reports. Environment Variables Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Nightly. |
@Akraz86 We believe we have a fix which should be available starting in the 2023-01-12 Nightly builds. If you have a minute, can you please verify that things work as expected after you get that update from the Play Store? Thanks! |
Hello. I assume this will be tomorrow's update? I just got an update now but it's still the 11th technically. I am EST-5. Regardless, today's update did not fix the issue. I will wait for tomorrow's and report back :) thank you so much |
Correct, the build hasn't started yet 😄. You can confirm via the About screen that you've got a build from the 12th.

Excellent! I look forward to tomorrow :D |
The update should be live now. |

Additional information
I do not know where to turn for this issue.
Ive been using Firefox Nightly on my Pixel-phones for a year or two now. A couple months ago, Firefox Nightly did an update, and a lot of web pages I visit have been returning strange on my phone. Either the text is way too small, almost like Desktop mode is enabled, or graphs and texted are skewed.
I have tried disabling my apps, which there are only 3: Dark Reader, Bitwarden, uBlock Origin. But it does not solve the issue.
Last night I started to research browser request data and a few websites returned some output on my Pixel 6 phone
USER-AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13, Tablet; rv:110.0_)Gecko/110.0 Firefox/110.0
My work phone, a Samsung S21FE, Returns the following on Nightly
USER-AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13, Mobile; rv:110.0_)Gecko/110.0 Firefox/110.0
When I switch my Firefox Nightly to Desktop Mode on this webpage, the USER-AGENT returns as
Mozilla/5.0 (x11: Linux x86_64; rv:110.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0
Switching back to mobile mode thinks the phone is a tablet.
When I open normal Firefox or Firefox Focus, my user-agent returns as USER-AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13, Mobile; rv:108.0_)Gecko/110.0 Firefox/108.0
So everything is fine, but Firefox Nightly thinks my phone is a Tablet... WHY!!!
I have tried looking online from Mozilla white-papers and resetting the user-agent in the browser does not work, nor does it apply to phone browsers. I cant find anything about this online.
Hoping someone here can really help me out. Thank you
