Thanks for the discussion of this issue. I came here from Bug #1506836, learned something, and now I've just finished fixing the code on my own site to handle "mobi" and "like android" tokens correctly :-) I've also submitted a feature request to LastPass.

To broaden the discussion slightly, could anyone comment on the likelihood of any of the following things being implemented? They would all provide a (perhaps unfriendly) workaround in the situation where a particular website refuses to play ball but a user has a desperate need for it to work correctly:

* Provide a button or something in the browser to explicitly switch UA string (like Sogou does to handle Chinese websites that require IE6 brokenness)
* Support an "about:debug" page or similar that allows a custom UA string to be typed in
* Allow the user to edit the override list on their phone (even just a text file editable in the terminal would do)
* Support plugins in the browser that would allow third-party developers to fix the problem for you
