Firefox mobile shows full version of sites instead of mobile versions of sites only.

When I visit sites on firefox mobile ( i have the experimental version for phones like the HTC Hero that use the SENSE version of Android)
Firefox mobile will show the whole main site instead of mobile versions. if a Site has a mobile version, Id prefer it to show that version.
Also when i go to put information into a form on the page, for example a log in, it makes the screen REDICULOUSLY large and a grey bar with an arrow goes right across the middle of the screen. On the native android browser i can enlarge the form just big enough to see type in my details and then hit enter. On firefox its somewhat of a nightmare trying to log into anything.

You can ask your favorite sites to add mobile Firefox (Fennec) to the list of mobile browsers they detect. Until they do, you can use the add-on "Phony" to make the sites think you are using a different mobile browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/162014/

  • When i get to the site it always pulls up the full site instead of mobile site

    WHEN I FIRST DOWNLOADED FIREFOX ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WAS BECAUSE IT WAS BASICALLY A MOBILE INTERNET AND STUFF MOVED FASTER. BUT NOW EVERYTIME I GET ON IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO THE FULL SITE AND NOT MOBILE ANYMORE. AND I DONT KNOW WHY NEED HELP.

    Hi Kthomasg1,
    I'm sorry you are having this problem. It sounds like you are having trouble with a particular site, or is it every web site that you view with Firefox mobile?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

  • Firefox Chrome Showing ???? instead of International Characters

    Hi,
    I have a flash movie at this site
    http://preview.tinyurl.com/5289rz
    When you click on the rendered thumb nail (with a link
    containing international characters) it takes you to a URL with
    those same characters in IE 7 it displays international characters
    and takes you to a correct page but in Firefox, Chrome and Opera
    the international characters are displayed correctly in the flash
    movie, but the URL turns those characters into question marks ????
    and the pages shows a 404 not found error.
    Firefox
    http://www.site.com/video/??????_??????_???????_???????_???????_???_????????

    Does that mean we should ignore those millions of users
    around the world that would be plain foolish. I am here to get this
    problem solved not to be told to just ignore users who use other
    browsers.

  • I installed teh update a few days ago but when I open Firefox it says :"You're not on the lastest version . . ", but at "Help" & "About Firefox" it shows 9.0.1 "latest release". There's a glitch somewhere.

    This is the message when I Open Firefox:
    "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"
    At <Help> & <About Firefox>, it shows
    Firefox
    9.0.1
    "Firefox is up to date"
    "You are currently on the release update Channel"
    One of those messages must be wrong. Either way Firefox seems to work fine otherwise. Thanks and regards, Peter Spielman

    Is your homepage set to www.google.com/firefox? If so, that page is wrong. You should change your home page to about:home or some other site instead. The google.com/firefox page is no longer supported.

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

  • When i open firefox it open as well , but as well as i type any site(google,facebook etc with all sites ) its show a blank page only . please help me

    as well i open firefox , its open normally with no home page , but when i type any of the site it always show a blank page and loading circle is also round once (only one round) as before i didint face this problem because always loading circe round many times till page not open but now it round only once and page remain blank.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • GETTING TO THE FULL WEBSITE...NOT THE MOBILE VERSION!

    I have done numerous searches on thi site and have not gotten a definitive answer.
    When I use my iPhone 3G at NFL.com, I would prefer the full website and NOT the mobile version. How can I force opening the full website on my iPhone?
    There are no choices on the mobile website that I can click.

    Depends if NFL.com is flash or Java. Then it won't open. But as said above it is the sites choice or programming that gives you mobile or full type. JUst curious are you on 3G or wifi?

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

    I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
    When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • With an older version of Firefox, we were able to search for sites and be forewarned about dangerous sites with warning icons. How can we enable the icons to appear again?

    Recently our Office Depot Tech switched us from an older version of Firefox to the current version. For the last two years, we were able to search for sites on Yahoo and icons would appear. The icons would suggest that a site is unsafe to click onto because a red triangle with an exclamation point would appear. These icons no longer appear since the Tech switched us to the current version of Firefox. I want to be sure I am clicking onto safe sites. I believe the icon used to be a green padlock if the site was safe to enter.

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

    How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.
    Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

  • Firefox is showing a grey globe for secure site when other browsers are showing a lock icon.

    We have several sites that have SSL Certificates. When the website switches to HTTPS, Firefox still shows our pages with a grey globe. Sites (like Amazon) are showing they are secure displaying HTTPS pages. Other browsers are displaying our pages secure like they should.

    a grey globe should only be shown for a "secure" page when there's mixed content on that page
