Why my own responsive website is displayed as the tablet version on some desktop?
Hi,
I have an issue with my website minus28.com. I've made it by myself so maybe the problem comes from the code, just so you know.
So I've been checking it on different browsers: Chrome, Opera, Mozilla and until now I had no problem. It's responsive and changes at 767px from mobile to desktop version. But today a friend who bought a new computer went to the page and it was the tablet version appearing. I made him try other websites, and on them it switches properly to the desktop version. When you inspect the page, on his computer, the media query sticks to the "low" one (max-width: 767px).
Any idea of where this problem could come from ? Does it work properly for you? I'm a bit confused as on my computer it works perfectly with mozilla ...

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page to see if that has effect. If necessary you can adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

Desktop - Win7 - Firefox ESR 38 and 44.0.2 Initial page load time is close to a minute. I do see what appears to be the transition from "desktop" to "mobile"; the vertical height of the top background changes abruptly as I slide the width of the browser window across the width point. No vertical scroll bar. Up and down arrow keys allow for page scrolling, but without the scrollbar the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work.
Ok thanks. The scroll bar part should be fixed. Never heard about such a problem that the media queries doesn't work on some computer ?

As a footnote to cor-el's first point, you can load this page and watch the computed boxes to see how zooming affects the window.innerWidth value.
