The forum is www.fjrForum.com LG G4, Marshmallow, FF 47 When I view it on Chrome for Android, I can see a nice mobile version of the website. When I view it on Firefox for Android, I see the standard desktop version, which is hard to read and navigate. I don't even see the link to the mobile version at the bottom of the page (next to the orange RSS Feed button); but other users tell me they see it and use it from their Android smartphones (although I don't know which browser they use). I have disabled add-ons. I have tried to add 'm.' in front of the URL. Suggestions?? TIA

SOLVED The problem is that this forum is not set to recognize this browser. So, I had to tell it that this is a mobile browser.

I needed to add "Mobile" to a site-specific useragent override.

1. In Firefox, open URL 'about:config'

2. Create the following new entry & value:

general.useragent.override.fjrforum.com = "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.5; en-us; HTC Vision Build/GRI40) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1"

Done

I got that entry from a Google search. Don't know how accurate or up to date it is.
