This Firefox add-on enhances support for mime-type on the browser, improving the efficiency of file handling.
The XHTML Mobile Profile is an essential extension for anyone working with mobile applications. With this add-on, Mozilla Firefox can render HTML content with the mime-type application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml. While it may not replace testing on actual devices, it is a useful alternative to device emulation.
One benefit of using the XHTML Mobile Profile is the ability to test markup targeted at specific devices using the Modify Headers extension. If an application uses device detection to provide accurate content, this feature can be particularly helpful.
It is important to note that Firefox does not natively support the mime-type application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml. This is where the extension comes in, adding support for this specific mime-type. Additionally, application/xhtml+xml is also supported by the add-on.
With version 0.5 of the extension, support for multipart/mixed content has been added. While this is not true support, the add-on removes HTML from the multipart packaging to enable proper rendering by the browser. In summary, the XHTML Mobile Profile is a valuable tool for developers and testers working with mobile applications.
