Desktop website layout on android

Please fix your android browser. Since the latest firefox and oneUI8.0 update, the default desktop view for your browser is set up for view on a phone screen in portrait. It was glitchy before but, most of the time, with some work, I could get a good desktop layout when using DEX. Now, it is unusable.

I want an ACTUAL desktop layout so that I can use it in DEX. Right now, I am forced to use chrome (as it is about the only browser that renders even remotely well in DEX). I would think that mozilla would want to make it so that those who WANT to use their product would be able to instead of configuring your browser so that I have no choice but to use chrome.

Also, fix thunderbird so that I can choose a dekstop like layout for it to so that I am not forced to use outlook.

I understand that not many people do use DEX, but there are those of us that want to use firefox and thunderbird and simply can't becuase of design decisions that mozilla has made. I would think that, you would want to capture as many people as possible.

I also have the same question about why Firefox on Android doesn't provide a reliable desktop-style layout when using Samsung DeX. The whole point of DeX is to use a phone in a desktop environment, so having the browser render pages as if they're being viewed on a narrow portrait screen defeats that purpose. You can check here https://ammod.io/ It's especially frustrating when the experience was already somewhat inconsistent before the latest Firefox and One UI updates, but now the layout has become practically unusable. I would much rather continue using Firefox than switch to Chrome just to get a proper desktop browsing experience on an external monitor.
