Or just name the new Facebook bookmark something a bit longer than just "Facebook" as previously mentioned in this thread.

Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile version now
 
could someone who is a good working knowledge of creating web pages that do browser detection, give us a description or a pointer in the right direction of why changing the browser agent works and , how and why websites do this?
Thanks it's more just for me to learn and explain to others ;-) don't worry I have googled it and am ready up, but wanted to get a first hand account of all of this :-)

Thanks in advance

Santiago at #55 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=55) has posted a user agent that makes chat work again:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv6l; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070810 Firefox/3.0a1 Tablet browser 0.1.16 RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.38-2

EDIT: In view of this, I've changed the recommended user agent in step 4 of #40 to Santiago's suggestion accordingly: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=40

Re: Facebook automatically goes to mobile version now
 
even without the hide user agent app i am not being rerouted anymore ... anybody else?

is this caused by the new firmware PR1.2? (i noticed after flashing, when my hide user agent was set back to default ... so i can't say for sure if facebook changed things before)
Or did Facebook change something?
Maybe somebody who has not flashed with the new firmware will try this?

Seems to be reverted back to full facebook on PR1.2

No, Facebook fixed it on their end. I've not upgraded to PR1.2, and I'm no longer redirected either.
