Status: New idea

I don't think I'm the only one who has this need, i think all tablet users - or at least most - prefer to use Firefox in desktop mode, because many web pages viewed in desktop mode are more complete and better formatted. 

Due to the spread of tablets, however, in multiple platforms, it also seems unlikely to me to be the first to present this idea . . .

So I wonder why even today Firefox for android does not allow the possibility to permanently set the desktop mode via switch.  

In order not to be misunderstood, I am aware of the existence of the "Desktop site" button and its use. Unlike the functioning of this slider, I would like that in the settings of Firefox for android there was - for specific use on tablets - an option that changes the user agent from mobile to desktop, until revoked.

I'm not thinking of a plugin that would still be highly appreciated, but of an integrated feature in Firefox.

Is it possible to consider this implementation?

Aaand, gone again in 133.01, but with a promise it will come back (not there by 133.03).

I sure hope it does because it's really needed. Quite apart from poorly-designed mobile sites and obvious large-screen use cases like tablets and Samsung Dex, there's the fact that YouTube will only play in background if the page is in desktop mode...

Full marks to the developers for trying, hoping it's soon.
