How do I view websites in theie desktop version instead of mobile?

I would like to view Facebook.com in the desktop version, but am not given that option.

Hi,
You can install the Phony add-on to get that feature. After you install it, you'll see the Desktop Firefox option in the User Agent preferences menu.

Search picks up desktop version rather than mobile version of website on smartphone

Hi
ive ive recently added a mobile version of my muse website. However I've notiiced that when searching for a freelance creative artworker and selecting my site www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk on my android phone, it's loading up the desktop version and not the mobile version?
im confused!
could anyone shed any light on this please.
many thanks
paul

HI
thanks for your reply, however I'm not clear on what you mean.
ive typed in the domain name on my smartphone and it's bringing up the desktop version. I've checked again doing a search for Freelance Creative Artworker and when I see my URL I click on it but it's still bringing up desktop version. The only time it brings up phone version is if I type www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk/phone/index?
id also like to add that as a test I published my site via bc. Strangely enough if I type in the bc URL on my phone it loads up the mobile site, so it appears to work on bc. So does this look like it's something to do with way files are being uploaded to be web host? I've also read someone had a problem with a htaccess file?
ive ive now tried uploading all files via FTP. Still the same result. I've notiiced that my phones URL is now showing www.paulsutton-artwork.co.uk/index.html?devicelock=desktop
can someone please help me with this as I'm tearing my hair out!
thanks again

How to make editing desktop version automatically edit mobile and tablet versions

Hello,
I have a website that is currently under development, and I was wondering if there is a way for the Mobile and Tablet versions to automatically update, when I edit the Desktop version.
Thanks,
Jeremy

If you're using Business Catalyst & Muse you can create a content holders . Place the Module on each page, then simply update the content holder via BC Admin and all pages will be updated. If you're not using Business Catalyst then you will always need to update each layout element.

Want desktop version instead of mobilr

I. want the regular desktop version of Firefox on my android and can't find how to do it. iI do not like the mobile version. it is difficult to maneuver and clicking desktop view in settings change anything. also iI have an add-on that will not work with the mobile version.
please get back to me ASAP . Sabrina Ralston. (Email removed by mod)

You can't get the desktop version of Firefox on Android, it's not possible. However, update your version of Firefox to 22, as it's better than 17

How do I view websites that require flash player ?

I am trying to view online catalogues with my iPad and they will not open as they require flash player. Is there a solution?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

You can't open them with iPhoto but you can view and restore individual photos in the backups. See the gray box towards the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.

How can I use the desktop gmail instead of mobile?

How can I use the desktop gmail on iPad2 -
instead of the mobile version or app?

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen in the mobile site. There is (or at least there used to be) a link to the standard site.
Really, though, the experience through the Gmail app is much better.
Best of luck.

Dreamweaver CC fluid grid site, how do I give user the option to view desktop version on mobile?

Hi all, I've just built my first fluid grid site with Dreamweaver CC, just wondering what is the easiest way to give an option to the user to view the desktop version on a mobile device (so they can zoom-in and pinch around and get to see what would be shown on a desktop). My mobile version of the site is a lot different to the desktop. I've kept all the original code structure, css, media quries and use of boilerplate etc intact from the original dreamweaver cc template. If someone could please show the best way to do this would be great

Hi Ben, yes I know but I come across people who insist on using the desktop version of sites because they are more familiar with the layout of the buttons and dont want to relearn etc, I come across this many times on sites I visit myself actually where I don't have time to relearn the navigation of the site because I know the desktop version so well, if in a rush etc.
Hi Mary Blight its definatley possible, I mean I could create a new css file with desktop version only css and use jquery to change the mobile css to this new css file when a user clicks "view desktop button", its just that I must have over 2000 lines of css and about 200 classes thats properties are spread over the 3 different media queries (with different inhertence), and I really don't want to have to manually go through each if I have to.
Was hoping I might be able to use some view port meta tags like how apple does on their devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> something like this to fool the device into thinking its a desktop site, or something along those lines etc.

Saving Website link to desktop

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knew how to save a website to the desktop so i can just click on it from there to open it.
Many thanks for any help.

Safari-File-Save As... choose 'format- webarchive' saves the whole page in a special format, or just drag the icon from the address bar to desktop/dock/anywhere if you only want a shortcut to open the original page

How do I view yahoo mail in its traditional website format.

How do I prevent my email from defaulting to the tablet view format? I prefer to view in the traditional website format.

Most websites will push a "mobile request" format, which means the website you get is formatted for use on a mobile device, should you access the site from such device. One solution would be to download a new web browser, like Chrome, which offer the option to request the website as a desktop.

How do i make websites think my mobile is a desktop?

How do i make websites think my mobile is a desktop? I cant stand those sites where it forces you to view the "mobile version" i want Firefox to automatically tell them its a "desktop" not a "mobile" so that i can go to any site without changing anything but the FULL website.
Thank you.

Open the add-ons screen (see [[How do I find and install Add-ons?]]) and search for the "Phony" add-on. This will let you tell websites that you're using a desktop version.

I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases. When I clicked on this I saw websites. How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases". When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
Can anyone tell me how these get there? Can a website be posted even if it was never went to? What does the space amount mean? For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit? Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me. Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
Thanks everyone.

Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

How do I view PDF files on a website without actually downloading them?

Whenever I encounter a PDF document on a website, it always downloads to my computer when I view it. Consequently I am getting left with all these documents that have been downloaded to my computer that I don't want to save, only look at once. It is a real pain to have to go back and delete all these files, some of which have obsure nondescriptive names, after I am done. How do I view but NOT download??

When you tap on the PDF link, the file should open directly on the screen while you are in Safari. You can then tap on - Open In - in the upper right corner of the PDF. Then tap on Open In and select your PDF app from the pop up.
If you do not see the Open In button, just tap on the open PDF somewhere and that will make the button reappear for a few seconds.

In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

I will lock this discussion because of duplicate post.
