you can fake your UA with an addon on mobile. Works for me most of the time.

It just rolled out in the stable 33.1 release today. It will hit the other channels (Beta, Aurora/Developer, Nightly) shortly.
I get that this isn't a code change and so this probably isn't critical , but, still, isn't that exactly backwards?

I have the same feeling on everything except security, but electrolysis should help with that. http://m.slashdot.org/story/199459
Firefox needs a better security model for add-ons. The thing that bothers me in Firefox is the Private Mode (Incognito in Chrome), as it doesn't disable add-ons. And I use private mode quite often. Mozilla has been relying on a more strict review process for whatever gets published on addons.mozilla.org (when compared to Google), with Firefox users experiencing less instances of add-ons turning to mallware/spyware, b…
