Devices using Firefox Focus are wrongly identified as tablets

Hi.

I've realised that Google Analytics identifies any Android device using Firefox Focus as being a tablet, regardless of the actual type of device.

I've tested this in several android devices, from version 5 to 7 of android and with old and new versions of Focus and the same happens.

Is it something that can be fixed by the devs of Focus or is Google needing to update user agents?


Thanks

Hi

I believe that they may have been done on purpose to make sure that Firefox Focus for Android works on tablets as well as being able to re-size to a mobile phone.
