Bug Description

I have seen this problem while testing on the desktop since the form factor of the UA is set depending on the screen width :

_formFactor: (Screen.width >= units.gu(60)) ? "Tablet" : "Mobile"

the ua-override.js only deals with the "Mobile" case

Well, arguably this is a feature, not a bug.
The rationale is that most desktop sites work "well enough" on tablets, so there is no need for an override there.
But nothing prevents us from adding tablet-specific overrides in the list, or from updating an existing override to make it more generic.
