Unfortunately the possible ways of interacting with the browser's user interface on Firefox for Android are currently alot more restricted than on desktop Firefox (the fact that I can add an icon to the browser's address bar is already a hack in itself!). As such I had decided to halt all further Firefox for Android development until this is being addressed.

As of Firefox for Android 55 this is finally the case and the first set of improvements (no configurable list yet, unfortunately) has landed in the recently reviewed 1.0.5 version of the extension.

If there are user-agents that you would like to see in the next release in particular (somebody already requested iPad), then please add that to your comment and I'll probably add them. The user-expandable list should be released in not-too-long as well.

Cheers!

    Firefox on mobile doesn't have a feature to permanently keep "Desktop site" on, sometimes when the website is unloaded from memory and reloaded the website goes back to mobile view which can be frustrating. This extension is pretty much a fix to Firefox's lack of such feature.

    Simply doesn't work on mail.com. That was exclusively what I needed it to do, so that's a total failure.

    Works great to fix YouTube illegally slowing/breaking functionality on browsers other than Chrome. However, it completely breaks functionality in Google Docs, making it impossible to type in a document while the add-on is activated. As someone who does a lot of work in docs, this is a really significant issue, so a fix would be appreciated!

    Aucun effet sur Firefox pour Android, testé sur Boursobank et Renault, le navigateur reste détecté comme un Android

    Great add-on. You can apply user agent switches per domain. It worked at first try on YouTube. The icon colour will change accordingly whether there is a switch applied per domain or general. Way clearer than 'User-Agent Switcher and Manager' by Ray.

    Why is edge stuck at 44? Copilot won't even show on the page

    wow. this is better than User-Agent Switcher and Manager and UI is better. Also that works only single website if want. Great job 👍

    It works in Mozilla Firefox 129.0b9 x64, but it is sad that it is impossible to directly edit the list of domains and the User-Agents assigned to them.

    User-Agent Switcher is just great and exactly what I was looking for.
    It does exactly what the name suggests, it also works on Firefox for Android and it is Free Software (GPLv3). Also, I appreciate the extensive description.
