Hi Andreas, can you try with the latest beta or ESR?  Also which device did you try this on?  I cannot seem to reproduce this issue.

Hi Nhirata

The device is a Samsung Galaxy Note.

Screenshots show bug and Fennec version.

Kind regards,

Andreas

Any chance you have the phony add on enabled?  And if so, can u disable and try again?

I cleared Page settings. Phony already disabled. Now I see the Google Desktop version. I would like to see the Android version like in stock browser.

Thanks for testing and replying.  Unfortunately, google is sniffing the web kit user agent string and also serving a site with webkit CSS properties on the stock android browser.  This is a web evangelism effort that we're slowly working toward with google to improve on Firefox.   Showing the desktop page is expected with the Mozilla user agent at this time.
