Google loading as mobile version?
I am not sure what triggered this, and I don't know how to fix it.
Whenever I go to search something, it apparently thinks that I am on a mobile device for Google and loads it in that format. For instance, when I search something on Google Images, it pulls up the mobile version of images instead of the regular desktop version. I have tried previous articles about resetting values under 'userconfig' in about:config but this has not solved my issue. I would like to avoid re-installing Firefox if possible.
Thanks.

When you use a private window, your cookies from your regular windows do not cross over, so if you didn't re-log-in to your Google account, your private window was browsing anonymously.
Google regularly conducts user interface experiments on its users, sometimes linked to their accounts (so you can only bypass them when using the services anonymously) and sometimes triggered by a cookie (so you can exit the test group by clearing cookies, and then log back in without being re-added to the test group).
Often there are vehement protests in threads on Google's forums that provide more insight into current experiments. The following user said he couldn't get out of the group as long as he was logged in, but after giving feedback at the bottom of the page, he got out of the group.

Also, I would like to note that this does not disappear when starting in safe mode, but does disappear when in private mode.

Yep, that is very dumb.
Clearing cookies under the name of 'google.com' has resolved this issue. I appreciate this very much!
So long as I remain out of my account, however. Temporary solution until I bring my account to light I guess.
