Re: 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
There seem to be a few "browser detection" libraries floating around that use a lazy detection for anything that starts with "Goa" (as apparently that's a mobile thing) which will also catch the "Goanna" UA slice as "mobile" as a result. You should still contact the affected sites because we can't do anything about incorrect server-side detection of the Goanna slice as "mobile".

Re: 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
What the heck does "Goa" even mean (in the mobile world), anyway? Is it an acronym for something?Moonchild wrote:There seem to be a few "browser detection" libraries floating around that use a lazy detection for anything that starts with "Goa" (as apparently that's a mobile thing) which will also catch the "Goanna" UA slice as "mobile" as a result.
Re: 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
There's apparently a phone out there that is the "Wiko Goa" that has "GOA" in its user agent. If a lib checks for "Goa*" as some do, then it will also catch Goanna/xx.

Re: 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
I wish I had not any extra work with the browser. Give me the previous "useragent" string and explain, how to replace that nuisance with "goa".
Re: 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
Weather,
Pale Moon is not the one to blame.
Although this text is related to Firefox OS, is valid for this scenario as well, since mobile devices manufactures still continue to include their models in the UA. Where's the standardization?
As Moonchild explained it here, you can add an override to those specific sites are giving you headaches.

[Source]Device-specific user agent strings
Although it is strongly discouraged by Mozilla, some handset manufacturers unfortunately include a token in their device's UA string that represents their device id. If this is the case, the Firefox OS UA string will look like the device-specific string in the table above, where nnnn; is the manufacturer's code for the device (see Guidelines). Some of them we have noticed are of the form "NexusOne;", "ZTEOpen;", or "Open C;" (note that putting space is also discouraged). We provide this information to assist with your UA detection logic, but Mozilla discourages the detection of a device id in UA strings.

Re: [solved] 26 is being recognized as mobile phone
Isn't there any way how to force all the webpages to use some type of string, which would tell them to load normal desktop version?
Btw: can you help me getting page forums.crackberry.com to be working in the normal mode instead of the mobile one? I wen't through the guide, but I can't reach the result...

Hi skrble!
The one I recommend is:
Then, there's another way, which I actually don't recommend. This is the dirty one.
Best regards!
Yeah, there are 2 ways to do this, at least.skrble wrote:Isn't there any way how to force all the webpages to use some type of string, which would tell them to load normal desktop version?
The one I recommend is:
- Install the User Agent Switcher add-on
- Choose any of these user agent strings below and add it there:
Some Pale Moon's fake user agent strings on Windows (I guess you're on Windows, right?):
Then, there's another way, which I actually don't recommend. This is the dirty one.
- Go to about:config
- Right click over an empty space, and select New > String, name it as:
general.useragent.override
with any of the user agent strings mentioned above as Value
The story behind BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com is the same as this: CrackBerry.com detects Goa in the term Goanna and so it serves the mobile version instead of the desktop one.skrble wrote:Btw: can you help me getting page forums.crackberry.com to be working in the normal mode instead of the mobile one? I wen't through the guide, but I can't reach the result...
- Workaround? Easy: get rid of the term Goanna out of the Pale Moon user agent string. You can do this by selecting any of the previous user agents above.
- Solution? Contact CrackBerry.com website support [sitesupport AT crackberry DOT com] to log the term Goanna to their UA DB under the "desktop browsers" category, not mobile.
Best regards!
