Can you give an example of a website that displays a mobile version?
Also, please paste the output of http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ (just the text right below " Your User Agent is:")

type about:config into your browser and hit enter. click ill be carefull. type user into the filter to bring the proper lines. on the general.useragent.vendor line right click>modify and remove "mobile internet" from the description it fixed it for me with 0 problems. this may void your warranty.
