How do I force Firefox to load only mobile versions of Blogspot blogs?

Adding "Mobile" to a custom, site-specific useragent override works for Wordpress but not Blogspot:

general.useragent.site_specific_overrides = true general.useragent.override.blogspot.com = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Mobile Firefox/17.0"

I can force the mobile version by appending "?m=1" to a Blogspot URL, but could I make Firefox do this automatically? I tried some URL regexp plugins, but to no avail…

thanks

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

The issue was that I need to use a Webkit-based browser's useragent; this worked:

general.useragent.override.blogspot.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"

Try an iPhone or Android override instead.

Firefox for Android is too new, and websites may detect it as desktop Firefox.

Try iPhone user agent for example:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

Yes, using the correct useragent was the issue.

Another question: Is it possible to force the mobile site to load even if the blog uses a custom (non- *.blogspot.*) URL? thanks

That's a Blogger related thing, so ask in Blogger support for it.
