@mcalidonio Thanks, Manuel. I got this.

@Donna Donna, since this is such a basic introductory article and a substantial update is needed, I'll defer the decision to you. I do agree that most of the content in that article are outdated, so we need to either update or archive the article.

Thanks all! I'm taking a look into this one to see if it's worth updating the existing content or if a complete re-write is a better option. Will update following investigation.

In case it helps, the How do I change to the desktop view in Firefox for Android? article's Desktop mode for tablets and foldable phones section says the following (quote): Starting with Firefox for Android version 133, tablets automatically display all websites in desktop mode by default. This setting is designed to optimize the browsing experience on larger screens.

Hey Alice, I don't have the bandwidth to assess this properly and could use some help - you want to take this one and make the call?

Comment 6

[Alice Wyman]

Donna, I don't have a tablet or a phone with Firefox for Android installed. I'll leave the decision to Kiki, since you assigned the bug to her.
