Environment variables for starting Firefox
You can start firefox with:
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 GDK_SCALE=3 firefox %u
You may ajust scale to your device screen size, but it may only be integers.
You can edit your desktop shortcut /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop :
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 GDK_SCALE=3 firefox %u
...
User agent
If you would like the mobile-friendly versions of sites to load by default, there are two ways to do this:
- Install the User Agent switcher extension - this allows for easy switching between different user agents.
- A more permanent option is to go into
about:config
, right click, New → String, entergeneral.useragent.override
and then type in the user agent you wish to use.
Upcoming versions
With upcoming versions (> 55) we will be able to use the multi-touch zoom extension to get fluid zooming. https://github.com/haxiomic/firefox-multi-touch-zoom
