I don't like the "Request desktop version" feature from Google Chrome which ALWAYS forget everytime i close the browser.What it does... - It doesn't apply to new tabs and all open tabs - It doesn't apply to the website i requested desktop version - It disables after you closed the tab. - It disables after you quit the browser

Just uninstalled Firefox app and moved to Opera. Both browsers, Firefox and Chrome are having the same excat problem. Bring back the User agent option in the settings section or force it remember what i have choosed. i work better on desktop mode rather than use crappy mobile version that lack of many features. and i will install Firefox app again

Firefox supports extensions, you can use one to get that feature. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/desktop-by-default/
