#26352: When using "request desktop site" in Orfox, a mobile phone User-Agent gets sent instead of a desktop browser User-Agent ------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: cypherpunks | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: tbb-mobile Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------------------+------------------------ = What happens = When I request a web page normally, the following User-Agent header gets sent by Orfox:
{{{ Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 }}} ''This is the correct behavior.'' However, when I select ''Menu'' > ''Request desktop site'', the same User- Agent is ''also'' sent. (You can see this e.g. [http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ here].) Because of this, websites will still return the mobile version of a website instead of the desktop website. You can try this at, for example, [http://google.com google.com]. == What should happen instead == When using ''"Request desktop site"'', a User-Agent for a desktop browser should be sent instead of that of a mobile browser. The normal Firefox for Android does this correctly. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26352> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
