I am using firefox developer v60 aurora platform and for some reason when i echo the user agent string in php it is returning:

'Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_3_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/603.3.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14G5037b Safari/602.1' I am confused as to why is would return this string as I am using windows7 pro. Is there an option in settings to change browser engine like in safari. Thanks

You can possibly get such a user agent when you are using responsive design view.
