Websites are stuck in desktop view on my Samsung S21 cellphone

On my new Samsung S21 cellphone many (but not all) websites shows as if "Desktop site=on" radiobutton was selected in the Firefox for Android settings, even if it isn't. This happens for e.g. "di.se" and "expressen.se". But on my old Samsung S10e these websites still works fine (I have the latest Firefox version 94.1.2 installed on both cellphones).

I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox on the S21 but that didn't fix the problem. (It works fine with Chrome on both cellphones, so it's probably not a website issue).

I upgraded and tested with the latest Firefox for Android version (95.2.0, build #2015851755) and it works fine now. Thanks!

Hi

So that I can try to replicate this here, do you have any add-ons installed?

What level of enhanced tracking protection do you have set?

Hi Seburo,

I did a clean reinstallation with no add-ons, but still get desktop webpages. I use "standard" tracking protection but has also tried with none (disabled). No change. More info here: https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/95865

I guess they broke this solution with the latest update as I also have an Samsung S21 with a webpage stuck in desktop view after doing all the same troubleshooting steps.
