State Certification/License Number Changed to Telephone Number on Mobile

We have a customer site that requires a State certification number (or license number) to be displayed for customer access. The best place to put that is in a footer.

Unfortunately, on mobile devices, it seems that Apple chooses to look at a random number and say, “This is a telephone number!” On Safari (currently) the site is fine. But on Firefox or Brave, it happily changes the font color to whatever a phone number should be. On this website, it changes it to roughly the same color as the background. This makes the license number invisible to the average visitor.

What is the best way to handle this rather idiotic problem with mobile rendering of numbers on a website?

Hello @caldwell,

Thanks for writing to us.

I have checked your website on my Android phone using both Firefox (version 141.0.1) and Brave (version 1.80.126), and it is working fine on my end. The issue you’re experiencing might be related to your browser cache or a browser extension. Please try clearing your browser cache and then check the site again. If the problem still persists, please let us know the version of your browser so we can assist you further.

Thanks
