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

  1. Tap the Page Actions menu.

A blue dot will appear on the menu button to let you know that you've changed the settings from the default:

To switch back to the mobile site:

  2. Tap Request Mobile Site.
When you request a site in desktop view one time, Firefox will always show that site in desktop view every time you visit until you switch back to mobile.
