(I'd except foot shooting to involve the Android token more likely than the Tablet token. It's not really the "same" as desktop when it says "Android" and "arm".) Anyway, it seems https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference isn't getting updated together with the code changes, which probably makes evangelism even harder than it would otherwise be. :-( Aside: According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/945629 , Marketplace uses a Desktop/Mobile/Tablet taxonomy. Will that change, too? -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
