This is a feature or add-on request. I've been receiving lots of m.* type of URL-s which send me to the mobile version of a webpage although I'm viewing it on my desktop. Anyway to redirect to the desktop versions of these pages automatically?

Is it a web site or a program? What is the name? If its a bad name, just go generic. If you think Firefox is not working right, go to Mozilla.org or Firefox In Any Language and get the full installer.

I don't think that this is possible. If you click or open a link that opens the mobile version of a web page then you get this mobile version. Only if you enter the site via the main page then the server can check the user agent and other settings available via JavaScript and redirect you to either the desktop version or to the mobile version. The opposite is not possible as this would require to understand what link you want to open. Best that you can do in such a case is to leave out the m. prefix.
