Getting Konqueror to Work with Facebook

April 29th, 2010

Facebook redirects Konqueror to Facebook mobile; I assume it sees WebKit and thinks IPhone. Until facebook corrects the identification error, you can use Konqueror’s settings to fix the mistake.

Navigate to http://www.facebook.com/facebook?ref=pf.1

Go to Tools > Change Browser Identification > Safari > and click the highest non-IPhone version you see. (On my computer, this was 3.2.)
