Desktop Mode for individual sites vs always on or off

Angel

Currently if a user selects to turn Desktop Mode on, it is a switch that turns it on across the whole browser. It stays on for each new tab or window that is opened in Firefox.

What I am proposing is an individual Desktop Mode switch for each tab/window, so that only one tab or window is affected. Any new windows or tabs that are opened will revert to the default Desktop Mode setting (user changeable).

Does that make sense?

I only need YouTube in Desktop Mode on Firefox. The rest of my sites are fine in Mobile mode.

Hi,

Sure, desktop mode per site totally makes sense.

If you wish, you can leave feedback for developers on the Mozilla Connect website. Click the Firefox Menu Fx89menuButton button in the toolbar, click Help and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback is collected by a team that reads it and gathers data on the most common issues.

Interesting. Mozilla Firefox on Android asks, with a pop-up, for my feedback. I submit the feedback and it ends up here. Why doesn't this feedback automatically go to the Mozilla Connect Website? Now I'm not sure why I was asked in the first place if it's not going to be collected by a team that reads it and gathers data on most common issues. The pop-up did not ask me if I needed support with an issue. Only to submit feedback.

Seems anti-intutive.
