The 2 links below will walk you through the process for each browser. When it comes time to add the mobile user agent string you could use something like this: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-ca; LG-P505R Build/FRG83) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1

Hi,

first, thank you for the tip :)

Safari is now running in the mobile view.

TenFourFox not yet. I read the instructions for the settings for Mozilla. I have created the file "general.useragnt.override"

entry is for Firefox mobile:
Mozilla / 5.0 (iPad, CPU iPhone OS 8_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit / 600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) FxiOS / 1.0 Mobile / 12F69 Safari / 600.1.4

I'm not sure if that's right ?
