I've installed Firefox Mobile on my HP Touchpad running CyanogenMod 7.1.

What I would like is for Phony to forge a user agent based on a "whitelist".

For example, identify as an iPad for *.google.com but identify as a Mac running OSX Lion for all other sites.

Inversely I could identify as a Windows 7 machine for *.hulu.com, *.rdio.com, *.last.fm, *.amazon.com, etc.

This would allow tablet formatted sites of sites that I want to use the tablet interface while allowing desktop versions of sites that have crippled tablet version.

I don't think the developer has plans for that feature. However the code for the extension lives at http://hg.mozilla.org/users/mbrubeck_mozilla.com/phony/
