Firefox on Mountain Lion = mobile sites?
I have Firefox 14.0.1 installed on Mountain Lion for Mac. The browser keeps going to the mobile version of websites (gmail and hotmail are the two I've noticed). How do I stop this or change it so that it will correctly identify my computer as a desktop machine and give me the desktop version of the site?

How do websites see you?
You can check out some pages on this website:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
That's what it says right now. I should also have mentioned that this is an intermittent thing. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe the website doesn't recognize the Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; part in the user agent.
Does it happen reproducible on specific websites?
You can try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
None of those options did anything but reload the page in mobile version. However, going back and re-typing the main domain name has occasionally worked to get it out of the mobile version.
The best I can do to reproduce it is quit Firefox and start it back up. Then it will go to the mobile versions of gmail and hotmail, even if I type them in so its not bad bookmarks.
On Android I can tell it to always view the desktop site. Is there not a way I could set that on my desktop so that I can avoid this hassle?
