I don't want to see the crippled mobile websites on my tablet ever again. Is there a way to permanently, (that means forever), make websites think that I'm on a desktop computer and not on a mobile? Tablet is not a mobile phone but the Firefox developers don't know, do they? Thank you.

Even though there is the mobile and tablet UA's for mobile Firefox depending on screen size, some sites will give a mobile version as if you were using a phone or 5" or less and not say a 10" tablet.


There is the Phony extension
