Hi, was wondering if there is a way to permantly load full desktop websites in Firefox on my Sony Xperia tablet Z. I dont like Chrome, and all of the posts I seem to find for setting Chrome to desktop sites relate to a mobile phone not a tablet. You already cant seem to set a home page but I worked around it by adding a most used page to the home screen but even that I must always change to request the desktop site when I open it everytime. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Was wondering if you guys could help me to find an app to do this? Certain sites like ebay go straight to their mobile version when I try to access it on my phone... I want to be able to go to the full versions of websites ask the time. Is there an app that would block sites from being able to read that I'm on a phone? Thanks

You can change your browser settings to make it look like mozilla or anything you want. Try reading google or anywhere else instead of posting questions with answers everywhere.
@fenixnr. You can't do that on the stock browser anymore. Don't be a troll.
@ O.P. you have to use an alternate browser for that. Try dolphin HD. Then look in the setting and change the user agent to desktop.

If you're running any 2.2 ROM, you can use the stock browser to view non-mobile sites by typing "about:useragent" (without the quotes) into the address bar and selecting "Desktop" from the dialog that comes up.
Aside from that, you will need to use another browser from the Market.
The ucweb has the function you looking for. It is the most popular mobil browser in China. I don't know if there is a English version.
ok thanks guys... i have dolphin hd so i'll try that... i actually like the stock browser better so i may try that method as well, you have been a big help, thanks!
Sorry in advance, but I bought a gtab for the wife, and although I'm an engineer with many years of experience with PC hw & sw, this android stuff is all new, and there's no user's manual that I can find, and I'm too old for this sh#t!
So anyway, every few days she comes up with something she easily does on the PC but can't do on the gtab running tnt lite.
Today's is that she wants to email a link to the website she's on to herself or others without copy and pasting to an email client, and I can't see, or find, any to do it.
Help, please. And anyone want to buy a slightly used gtab!?!? j/k; she does like it - but I don't need the aggravation!
Thanks for any help,
Robb

I don't know if this works on the TnT browser (I don't think it uses the stock Android Browser).
But on stock android browser, press 'menu', 'more', 'share page'
Thanks, but menu button seems to be dead while using the browser.
Lol I was trying to do the same thing earlier today and can't figure it out either My HTC evo all u do is hold down the website link and it will pop up share page or copy page URL. I have tried everything no luck
You could just load another browser??
Opera, firefox, dolphin, Xscope.
They all have their advantages.
Firefox mobile has a 'share page' option; thanks! 1 down, a few more to go. I do see there are printing apps I'll need to check out.

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.
I'm not entirely sure this is only a Nexus 10 problem ... But I noticed yesterday that links have stopped working on some sites in chrome and boat browsers. The Guardian website for example. The link highlights on touch but does not open the relevant page. The only way I can get it to work is to long-press the link, then open the link from the popup menu.
This only seems to be a problem on the desktop version of a site, and is not happening in Firefox.
Can someone try this out to see of they have the same issue?
Thanks in advance

Thats exactly my first thought!
Its only happened since they launched their new mobile layout, but the desktop version is so good on a tablet.

sure, it does look good on tablet..
the new mobile is pretty cool on my phone
I love to read Charles Authur's completely biased one way thinking..an apple-nazi if ever there was one..
I have been searching for a solution, but its not so easy to analyse their HTML from my tablet..
when I boot up my PC I'll have a good look at their html to see why it's causing the problem in chrome
I do notice that the first time I go there the first link will work.
have you found any other sites where the links don't work?

Seems to be working again now.
Hi All!
Please help me out, there is a hungarian news site called index.hu which forces mobile view to readers in a brutal way, and does not let you view it like on a Desktop PC.
I tried many browsers, always set the user agent to desktop mode, even modified chrome for android, but nothing helps and I'm getting retarded from this
I'm sure that I'm not alone with this, and probably there are a tousand more sh*tty sites like index.hu
Does someone have the guts to slave and force this site to desktop mode?
Any help would be appreciated!
My device:
LG G2 running KK 4.4.2 (rooted)
Nexus 7 (2012) running CM 4.4.4
Anyone please?

Try Lightning Browser.
I used version 3.0.5b and set User Agent to ''desktop'' before visiting the site.
In default UA mode you get the horrible site. In desktop mode you get the normal site.

Tried it, no luck. Still mobile site on every UA. I even downloaded the same version of the browser, but no luck.

Nobody?
Please, this subject is still actual, no solutions around the web, somehow nobody cares, but there are sites that drive me crazy as well. Tried a lot of browsers, PC version on, UA set to Desktop, still no luck.
EDIT:
Solved. Just change the browser's DPI to match tablet mode. More on how to:

Hi all,
A quick question, couldn't find anything online...
Is there a way to turn off the feature that suggests downloading an Adroid app for the website your visiting?
Normally when you browse to certain sites (e.g. LinkedIn) from your mobile browser, it redirects you to a new landing page suggesting you download their app, normally with the option to "continue to mobile site" on the same page.
This is probably the actual sites recognising you are on Android and adding the page themselves, but would really like a way of turning this off/blocking this ability. If I wanted the app, I would download the app myself!
Cheers

Sorry if I wasn't clear... I know how to get off that screen, and to browse on desktop view too, but what i want is websites to not add the extra layer in when I browse to them, advising there is an app available.
I still want to browse using the mobile site, just doing want the extra landing page to appear

I didn't think it'd be doable easily
So, the website you visit, uses Java to show the extra landing page when it notices you're on android, nothing to do with browser or android itself?
