Why doesn't request desktop website work?
I installed the Firefox beta on my Nexus 7. The Request Desktop site option is present, but not on a More option under settings, but rather at the root directory. I did check this box, but when I go to sites...cwtv.com and www.espn.go.com beihg examples...I only get the mobile site! This is a problem, how can I address this?

Espn redirects to m.espn.go.com and does not redirect deskop user agents back to the desktop site. You can see this by visiting http://m.espn.go.com on a desktop browser.
The workaround for this is to install the Phony extension and set it to Deskop Firefox. and revisit the page.
Some sites read the navigator.userAgent property in JavaScript instead of looking at the User-Agent request header. This issue should be fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768035.
