I want to browse a website using my mobile phone in desktop version. How can I disable the mobile version?

Hi Iomankam,

You can install Phony, an extension for Firefox mobile that will let you tweak the User-Agent to match that of Desktop Firefox. What this will do is force the browser to mimic that of Desktop Firefox and sites will serve the non-mobile content to the browser.

Dear AarronMT, Although some websites still change to mobile view automatically under "desktop firefox", many of them work. Thank you for your help!
