I just installed firefox again - [ Firefox Setup Stub 28.0.exe ] when I access utube - the URL gets translated into a url with an m.bla [ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dGpZEuXoFWw ] BUT, i'm running a desktop PC in windows 7 and I AM NOT A MOBILE platform. I can not find any configuration settings that switch me back to PC desktop computer. how can I fix this, many things do not work on mobile and I dont want to access mobile web sites.
