Is there a way to force tablet mode?

Firefox defaults to the interface instead the tablet interface on my 9" tablet. (Not to be confused with the desktop vs. phone agent for web pages.). Is there a way to force the tablet interface without messing with custom display resolutions?

hi raincity:

There is no way to force the tablet user experience. Firefox for Android should detect that you are on a 7" or bigger tablet and automatically give you the tablet experience.

Which tablet do you have (manufacturer and model number please) and what android operating system are you using (Kitkat 4.4, Android 4.3 Jelly bean, 4.2 jelly bean, 4.1 jellybean, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, etc).

It might be a Firefox issue ; it could be that Firefox for some reason thinks your device is a phone rather than a tablet.

Cheers!
