Whenever I try to go to facebook.com, I am redirected to m.facebook.com (facebook mobile).
Whenever I try to go to facebook, it begins to load, then redirects me to m.facebook, as if it has detected that I am using a mobile phone.
This does not occur on any other browsers that I have tried (Safari, Chrome)

This may be a browser sniffing issue. Many sites will check the user agent string (gives version of browser being used), if it believes that you are using a mobile version of the browser it will re-direct you to the mobile version of the site. Try resetting the user agent string to see if it helps. For details of how to do that see How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.

I've this problem sometimes in some sites. Not just for facebook. For example, now I can't access the normal page www.claro.com.br. I'm redirected to claro mobile. I've just deleted my .mozilla directory from my home and the problem persists. I've cleaned the cache, objects, cookies and it doesn't work.
