Is there a way to prevent the iPhone from converting number display to clickable phone numbers?

I had previously used the suggested meta tags of format detection for telephone numbers:


This does work with iPhone's Safari, however on Firefox on iPhone, the numbers are still converted to clickable phone numbers.

Any ideas to prevent that?

Holy cow, since when was Firefox on the iPhone? You mixed up a little bit buddy? –  sudo rm -rf Apr 13 '11 at 18:42

Ah, gotcha. However that isn't a real version of Firefox, but that version just is like a companion to Firefox as the iPhone version still uses Webkit to render, while the desktop version of Firefox uses the Gecko rendering engine. –  sudo rm -rf Apr 13 '11 at 18:48
