      hello thanks for this information ,
      i want to know whether exact simulation of mobile is available
      because when i browse waptrick.com , i see different pages in mobile and firefox , there is no games link in firefox , i think they send information according to the mobile , so as we are browsing from firefox it is unable to know which mobile is ours and as a consequence there is no link of games
