I didn't find any add-on for Facebook except for chat and something about Facebook email links (not even sure what that is).

Anyone know how to change the user agent setting in Firefox Mobile?

Try changing "general.useragent.extra.mobile" in about:config.

Yeah I know microb can do it since I have it installed. I'm talking about Firefox though. It doesn't seem to..

a) activate the GPS (no icon in the status menu).
b) won't show anything if I'm using TMobile Internet. Firefox seems to base the geolocation completly on where your network thinks you are. I know this because it works when I'm using a Wifi router but not when I'm using TMobile Internet.

The question is where is the problem. Is it on TMobile's end? Firefox's end? My device? So if anyone who has a TMobile data plan in the USA please help me answer my following questions.

1) When you use geolocation extensions or services in Firefox, does the GPS icon pop up? What kind of accuracy does it report (fine, coarse?)
2) What APN are you using? I've tried all the TMobile ones (I'm on the smartphone data plan).

I love firefox for mobile for one very important reason: It isn't too slow and for the Weave Add-on. Having every thing synced is great! No more typing in passwords. The auto-zoom is great and I like how it automatically starts zoomed out to fit an entire page. It is slow but with the browser switch-board start-ups are faster thanks to a higher priority for memory and Cycles.

This thread constantly bashes Flash but really unless your running a N900 Then flash we make your browser so slow you cant use it unless you use MicroB. Or some people get it to work in Tear or Midori, but that's not the point. Things like how do you get this to work or that. Stop you freaken arguing about how flash doesn't work. We all no this and we all know there is a way to enable so does work.

What is constructive...

Great Auto-zoom
Auto-fit page
Add-ons
Smooth
Multiple tabs
fairly fast for a mobile browser (compared to other devices Zune HD)
Weave is essential.
How about tweaks!
Or companion apps like a firefox menu
Lets see here. They built the first release for the NITs what did you expect.

So now we can have a decent collaborative discussion.

Some websites load their "mobile version". How do I turn that off?

Big advantage for me is fennec actually rendering wow armory correctly, while microb gives blank page every time you click a link until you reliad that page. It also renders those pages faster than microb

Change your user agent string to a desktop browser's.

I think the problem is on Tmobile's end. I am using epc.tmobile.com.

However, sorry, I'm not using Firefox, just happened to see your message while passing thru.
