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/
