Update: I spoofed my user-agent string to get the normal mobile version in Firefox. It mostly works except images don't load! I'm done digging into this for now, but it's kinda bizarre.

I use Twitter on Firefox mobile and didn't know until this article that it's for some reason forcing an old ugly version. What UA string are you using? I tried the Android (Phone) one, and the Chrome one that the Phony extension provides but it still shows the ugly FF version of mobile twitter.

Any user-agent that mentions a recent Chrome and Android build should shows the new mobile.

I test one that has Chrome 43 and Android 5.0.2

Still, the no-image-load grind my gears, so I switched to desktop.
