Hello Dysires, what are these sites, you can only view by mobile/cell phones ? We cannot access lots of private sites without username or passwords.

thank you

Firefox has this app if you will that by changing a few settings, the PC browser converts as a mobile browser. For instance, if you go to www.airg.com it could only be accessed with a cell phone but firefox has a feature where it can be used as a cell/iphone browser. I used it before but I don't remember how to enable it.
