Most web applications detects mobile devices based on the HTTP Headers    If your web site also uses HTTP Headers to identify mobile device  you can do the following     Add Modify Headers plug in to your Firefox browser   https   addons mozilla org en-US firefox addon modify-headers    Using plugin modify headers    select Headers tab-  select Action  ADD  to simulate e g  iPhone add a header with name User-Agent and value  Mozilla 5 0  iPhone  U  CPU like Mac OS X  en  AppleWebKit 420   KHTML  like Gecko  Version 3 0 Mobile 1A543 Safari 419 3 click  Add  button  After that you should be able to see mobile version of you web application in Firefox and use Firebug plugin    Hope it helps

You can use the already mentioned built in Responsive Design Mode  via dev tools  for setting customised screen sizes together with the Random Agent Spoofer Plugin  to modify your headers to simulate you are using Mobile  Tablet etc  Many websites specify their content according to these identified headers   As dev tools you can use the built in Developer Tools  Ctrl   Shift   I or Cmd   Shift   I for Mac  which have become quite similar to Chrome dev tools by now

I would use the  Responsive Design View  available under Tools -  Web Developer -  Responsive Design View  It will let you test your CSS against different screen sizes

You could use the Firefox add-on User Agent Overrider  With this add-on you can use whatever user agent you want  for examlpe   Firefox 28 Android  Mozilla 5 0  Android  Mobile  rv 28 0  Gecko 24 0 Firefox 28 0   If your website detects mobile devices through the user agent then you can test your layout this way     Update Nov  17   Due to the release of Firefox 57 and the introduction of web extension this add-on sadly is no longer available  Alternatively you can edit the Firefox preference general useragent override in your configuration    In the address bar type about config Search for general useragent override If the preference doesn t exist  right-click on the about config page  click New  then select String Name the new preference general useragent override Set the value to the user agent you want
