Like the title says: How can I force Firefox for Android to open the mobile version of a website instead of the desktop version? Example: The CNN website (www.cnn.com) opens in the mobile version in Dolphin and Chrome for Android; in Firefox for Android it opens in the desktop version.

Firefox for Android 29 Android 4.4.2
