How to request the web desktop version?

I think in previous Firefox versions (or maybe in the Tablet version) it have an option to request the Desktop version of the website, instead of the .mobile. Is it possible with the 14 beta version?

I know there is the Phony extension, I'm asking to an integrated feature.

Thx

Hi, I confirm what Michelle says, we currently don't have "Request Desktop Mode" in Beta, but, it has been added in our development channel 2 days ago (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766406). So it will be in FF16 :)

Hi Dimass,

We don't have an integrated feature for this, but I do keep asking about it and I'm hopeful that we will get it for tabletUI when it lands (currently planned for FF15, I believe). We pulled out the feature because it didn't work reliably enough, so I think they will rework it or integrate phony in the future version.

Thanks, Michelle
