For a couple of days Firefox has started showing just mobile versions of pages (all Google services, Yahoo, Facebook etc) and I haven't been able to find a fix. Any help appreciated.

Are you per chance using bookmarks that contain m.website.com? (m.facebook.com?)

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
