Viewing Desktop Sites on Firefox iOS

When viewing websites on Firefox iOS, the sites will often look different than they would on a computer. Here’s how to change your view of mobile sites in order to see desktop site layouts.

  1. Open Firefox mobile. Go to your desired website.
  2. Press and hold the reload button on the toolbar. ReloadiOS
  3. A button pops up saying, “Request desktop site.” Click the button.
  4. The desktop site loads.

If you prefer the mobile site, here’s how to change the desktop site back to a mobile site:

  1. Press and hold the reload button on the toolbar. ReloadiOS
  2. A button pops up saying, “Request mobile site.” Click the button.
  3. The mobile site loads.
Some major websites also have links at the bottom to change to the desktop site. Not all websites have this. Some websites look very different on mobile and on desktop versions while other websites look similar in the two formats.
