Steps to Reproduce:

Browser: Firefox 79.0.5
View a wikipedia on Android phone. Example url: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andhra_Pradesh
Actual Results:
From browser menu Turn on Desktop Site. The page reloads, but the difference is only small size fonts
Expected Results:
View as Desktop. i.e : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andhra_Pradesh
From browser menu Turn on Desktop Site.
@Arjunaraoc: Where exactly in some browser menu? Any chance to provide a screenshot of that menu?
Does the "Desktop" link at the very bottom of the page work as expected?
@Aklapper , The screenshot highlighting the menu is enclosed.
Yes. Desktop link at the bottom of the page works as expected.
Thanks. I don't know what any Wikipedia code change here if Firefox functionality does not work. Have you reported this to Firefox?
@Aklapper , The problem is present in Chrome browser on Android as well. So I think mediawiki team may need to address this.
Thanks for clarifying!
If I understand correctly, when enabled, the tab sends a desktop user agent string (UA); when disabled, a mobile user UA.
This won't work for websites which use cookies to remember UA preferences.
