How do I hack Firefox Mobile to set the "Desktop Site" switch to automatically always be on? I would then turn it off manually for those few sites that I want to view the mobile version of?

Hi

For mobile devices the mobile view should be optimal for a smaller screen with a touch interface. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select either Share ideas and feedback… or Submit feedback…, depending on your Firefox version. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
