It works for me. Have to enabled "request desktop site" or any other feature that might change Facebook's loading?

Thanks for the report muzarinalbarr27

* Could you try again with Firefox Android after rebooting the phone?
* Could you make a screenshot in another browser on Firefox for Android?
* Which version of Firefox Android are you using?

Thanks. :)

And when I use other browsers like Chrome , facebook mobile view will be like this .
I hope facebook mobile view and other social sites will be fix in Firefox browser . because we only trust firefox as our browser . m
Many thanks :-)

At least it seems Firefox Android is correctly identified. 

        ["MJSEnvironment", [], {
            "IS_APPLE_WEBKIT_IOS": false,
            "IS_TABLET": false,
            "IS_ANDROID": true,
            "IS_CHROME": false,
            "IS_FIREFOX": true,
            "IS_WINDOWS_PHONE": false,
            "OS_VERSION": 2.2,
            "PIXEL_RATIO": 1,
            "BROWSER_NAME": "Firefox Mobile"
        }, 46],
        ["MPageletUtilities", [], {}, 358],
        ["MTabletLoader", [], {
            "isTabletFrame": false
        }, 513],

I wonder if this is a temporary glitche. This needs a bit more analysis and being able to reproduce.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

Harald, can we get somebody at Facebook to look at this? I see a bit of an issue in Firefox on Android.

Micheal will file it over our bug channel

Thank you for reporting this, Muzarinalbarr27, and thanks for trusting in Firefox! 

I am having some trouble reproducing the issue you are experiencing. Facebook mobile renders fine on my Android device running 5.0.1

What version of Android is your device currently running?
Is this issue still occurring on your end, or has it been fixed?

Hello sir Michael,
I'm using Lenovo A3000 Android Version : 4.2.2 ..
The issue is not still solved . The problem only occurs when you visit the ''Facebook Profile accounts'' . the buttons and photos are not in right place..

Thank you for reporting this, Muzarinalbarr27, we will pass this information along to the Facebook Team. However, because we do not have a large population of users reporting this issue, a fix may be slow (please note an issue of this nature may take several months for Facebook to fix).  To help get a faster fix, you (and your friends who experience this) can visit https://www.facebook.com/help/186570224871049 and report the issue on your end as well.  This will help get Facebook's attention on the issue.

A quote from their site:
"If something's not working on Facebook, or you think there's a bug, you can report it to us. When you see a feature problem:

    Click the blue arrow in the top-right corner of a Facebook page (ex: your home page)
    Select Report a Problem and follow the on-screen instructions"

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I get a completely different layout on FB profile pages, so it's not strange I can't reproduce problems..

Comment 15

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

Is this still an issue? I use Facebook daily in Fx mobile and haven't seen it.

Facebook is doing very wonky Firefox user agent sniffing.

https://m.facebook.com attempts to detect the user agent and serves the "best" version.
https://mbasic.facebook.com is the old-style mobile site.
https://touch.facebook.com is the touch-screen mobile site.

If I use a desktop user agent, going to https://m.facebook.com will bring up the old-style mobile site.
But the touch-screen mobile site works just fine.

If I use a mobile user agent, going to https://m.facebook.com brings up the touch-screen mobile site.
HOWEVER, it's a degraded experience, if you notice carefully, loading indicators are no longer spinners and revert to three blue bars.
Also, Facebook's `history.pushState` mechanism doesn't run and there's a severe bug that reloading after a few page navigations doesn't bring you back correctly(!!)

Is this B2G/FxOS specific — or relevant to Firefox on Mobile? If the latter — we will track within Platform-Rel...

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

fwiw, as it surfaced in another facebook issue, Facebook is doing server side user agent sniffing based not only on the browser id, but also the device id. We do not recommend this usually.

If you have specific issues for each thing, feel free to  open individual issues on https://webcompat.com/
That would help us in dialoging with Facebook about each specific issues you might have met. 

Also testing on Firefox Android device is better. There's a report site issue menu item on Firefox Android Nightly that should help you to create the bug report.

Thanks.

I can reproduce the issues I mentioned on my Firefox for Android (Mozilla/5.0 (Android 7.1.1; Mobile; rv:51.0) Gecko/51.0 Firefox/51.0) on my Nexus 5X.

Thanks for the webcompat link, I'll check the GitHub repo for any similar issues and file a report when I get home.

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

I'm reclassifying as "Mobile", since this isn't B2G specific, per comment 21.

Comment 23

[Sergiu Logigan [:sergiu]]

I am unable to reproduce this anymore. the UI of Facebook changed.
