The platform part of the UA string indicates if Firefox is running on a phone-sized or tablet device. When Firefox runs on a device that has the phone form factor, there is a Mobile; token in the platform part of the UA string. When Firefox runs on a tablet device, there is a Tablet; token in the platform part of the UA string instead. For example > [!NOTE] > The version numbers are not relevant. Avoid inferring materials based on these. The preferred way to target content to a device form factor is to use CSS Media Queries. However, if you use UA sniffing to target content to a device form factor, please look for Mobi (to include Opera Mobile, which uses "Mobi") for the phone form factor and do not assume any correlation between "Android" and the device form factor. This way, your code will work if/when Firefox ships on other phone/tablet operating systems or Android is used for laptops. Also, please use touch detection to find touch devices rather than looking for "Mobi" or "Tablet", since there may be touch devices which are not tablets. > [!NOTE] > Firefox OS devices identify themselves without any operating system indication; for example: "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0".
