I just replaced my Internet app on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with mozilla Firefox. My current problem is that the websites I now visit are the desktop versions, not optimized for mobile phones. I have found the button to select or unselect the desktop site, but that had done nothing to alleviate the headache. My examples are www.cnn.com and www.msn.com. Those are just two of the websites that do not load the mobile version. Thanks

Make sure the website has a mobile website. If it has, make sure that there is no tick in the line "show desktop-site" in the popup which comes if you press the menu button. Otherwise I can't help.

Sorry, maybe my English is bad.

Firefox does not have any control over the content that websites choose to send to it.

Asking on the site's Facebook or Twitter about supporting Firefox for Android as a mobile browser will raise awareness about the problem.
