Over the past few weeks, using Firefox 15.0, some websites have shown up in mobile/text only format. I have done everything advised including reset, but no joy. The sites even include Mozilla Add-ons site!

Windows XP / Firefox 15.0. No extensions, Java plugins working. Problem occurs in normal and safe modes.

So annoying, on some sites need to use IE to get useful results.

Can you tell whether the sites are intentionally switching you to a mobile view, or whether you are just not getting the style sheets that make the regular page attractive? In the latter case, Ctrl+r or Ctrl+Shift+r (a reload bypassing the cache) sometimes will load the style sheets correctly.

How is your browser reported?

You can check out on the browserspy website how websites see you:

Thanks for your offers of help, however, neither seems to be the solution. Whether there is a problem loading CSS, I don't know, how would I be able to detect this? however, Browserspy reports FFox 15.0.1, which is correct, and neither Ctrl+r nor Ctrl+shift+r resolves the issue.

If anyone wants to look at a copy of the page source (of the Mozilla Add-ons site, which is one of those giving me this problem I can oblige, to see if that would clarify things.

It is clearly a coding problem, since I can view the site correctly in IE, Opera and Chrome, with the source code view being markedly different in the FF rendition, sans styling.
