Stuck in Desktop Mode
Hi, my browser on my tablet keeps making all tabs stuck in desktop mode with no way to turn it off. It started happening today when it updated to the latest Firefox Android 133. The desktop mode toggle is set to off, and when I click it it still is set to off and it's still in Desktop mode. When I copy the URL to another tab I can turn desktop mode off, but that gets reset to on whenever the browser is killed in the background.
I've tried force closing the app and clearing cache, any help would be appreciated.

Desktop mode browsing is now enabled by default for large devices. This can be controlled via a preference under Settings in "Site settings" previously named "Site permissions".
There is still the issue of the desktop mode toggle not working for tabs that were opened previously. Any new tabs have a working desktop mode toggle, but any old tabs have a broken desktop mode toggle.
What type of device are you using?
Since I myself have exactly the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE ( SM-X516BEE).
However even if I manage to Disable Desktop mode; It still doesn't zoom out propably. So either way it looks more an Desktop site.
So as I myself suspects is that; either there is some sort of conflict between Firefox & yous OS( in wich buy default is locked either way in some Desktop mode), or either way it's as simpel as some one posted the LINUX Version( on Play store).
However since Android is based on Linux( mirrored/ emulated). As everybody knows that Linus is an Unix OS that is PC- based.
I have a Lenovo Tab M9. I doubt that its because of the OS, this seems to be a Firefox issue.
