Hi,


I changed the DPI on my Galaxy S4, and now Firefox thinks it's running on a tablet. So it doesn't treat phone numbers as links and the tabs at the top are harder to use. Is there a way to update FF to run as if it's on a phone?

Thanks.

It might be that this option has been ticked by accident as well?

Unfortunately this functionality will depend on the site and how they implemented the css to fit the screen and style of the device that the meta data from your browser sends.

No. Playing with the DPI at the OS level could totally result in that behavior. We don't support changing the UI between the mobile and tablet interfaces.

Thanks for the response, but was wondering what DPI do I need to switch it back to mobile mode?

I think its between 180 and 240DPI, but this will depend on the device.(240 is max I think)

I actually adjusted the DPI from 360 to 370 and now it's working fine. Not sure if someone else will find this information helpful.
