Electron: Renderer process not rendering navbar
I'm new to electron and I'm trying to display a simple navbar in the renderer process of Electron with the following html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<!--<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'">-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/fontawesome.min.css">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,700" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar" role="navigation" aria-label="main navigation">
<div class="navbar-brand">
<a class="navbar-item" href="https://bulma.io">
<img src="https://bulma.io/images/bulma-logo.png" alt="Bulma: a modern CSS framework based on Flexbox" width="112" height="28">

And it works fine if I open this html file with firefox, but the renderer process only display the logo, not the menu. Here is the main process code:
exports.createWindow = () => {
// TODO only use in dev mode
require('devtron').install();
const primary_display = electron.screen.getPrimaryDisplay();
this.win = new BrowserWindow({
width: primary_display.size.width / 1.5, height: primary_display.size.height / 1.5,
minWidth: primary_display.size.width / 2, minHeight: primary_display.size.height / 2,
title: "Client v" + app.getVersion(),
show: false
});
// Open dev tools
this.win.openDevTools();
// Allow to directly show the app in a native app style
this.win.once("ready-to-show", () => {
this.win.show()
});
// and load the main.html of the app.
this.win.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/../renderer/main.html`);
// Emitted when the window is closed.
this.win.on('closed', () => {
// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.
this.win = null;
});
// Build menus from template
Menu.setApplicationMenu(Menu.buildFromTemplate(appMenu.getMenuTemplate(this.win)));
const mainSession = this.win.webContents.session;
};
And here are the results.

And in the rederer process of electron:

Any idea why this happens? Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It seems that the electron renderer is rendering my webpage as a mobile webpage, I don't know why this happens.
