For users who frequently browse the web on their Android tablets, a recent update to Mozilla's Firefox browser changes how websites are displayed. According to the release notes for the latest version of Firefox for Android, v133 now automatically loads websites in their desktop versions by default.
Previously, Firefox for Android defaulted to displaying websites in their mobile-optimized versions on larger-screen devices. This led to a suboptimal browsing experience, as mobile websites often appear cramped and poorly formatted on larger screens. The latest update aims to rectify this issue.
While the desktop mode update is a welcome change, it's important to note that not all websites are optimized for desktop viewing. Some websites may display formatting issues or layout problems when viewed in desktop mode. However, Firefox allows users to manually switch between mobile and desktop modes through the Site Settings menu.
