The website does not respond to requests from the desktop version.
Hi developers, I'm running Firefox on an Android tablet and ran into an issue. When I enable the desktop version of the browser, accessing websites (like searching on Baidu) fails to load the desktop version. I compared Edge browser with Firefox and found through website UserAgent detection that when Edge runs desktop websites, it switches UserAgent to Linux, while Firefox maintains Android UserAgent for desktop sites. This causes some websites to ignore network requests and load mobile versions. To resolve this, we need to disable and re-enable desktop website access first, which may allow the site to respond to desktop requests.
Can I adjust the settings to switch to the desktop version of the website? I don't want to switch to another browser.

add " User Agent Switcher " addons, it's a solution
I now understand why desktop web pages still appear as mobile versions when accessed through browsers after enabling the 'Always request desktop version' setting. When this setting is enabled, the browser detects these websites as using the UA [Mozilla/5.0 (Android 15; Mobile; rv:147.0) Gecko/147.0 Firefox/147.0]. However, when the desktop version is re-enabled via the quick access menu, the websites switch to the UA [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:147.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/147.0], prompting the browser to serve the desktop version.
