Browser now redirects to mobile sites
Recently, Firefox has been directing me to mobile sites not the desktop version of the site. I'm using a laptop (windows 10). If I quarry my user agent it says it's using Android (Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-J700T1 Build/MMB29K; wv)). I can't seem to change this either in the about:config as I tried: general.useragent.override = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 How can I fix this?

Poke around safe websites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
I've done all of the above with no success.
Your useragent seems to have been reported correctly to this site. Do you use any privacy-oriented add-ons that could be modifying it on a site-by-site basis? How about external software or a proxy/Private VPN service?
No, no add ons that are recent, and I tried starting in safe mode with no luck. No external software or vpn service either. I am tethered via my android phone as internet service, but I've always done that with out having this issue before.

I agree. Tethering should not modify your actual requests if that Android feature is operating normally.
Does the problem affect both HTTPS and HTTP connections, or only HTTP? For comparison:
It appears to only effect http sites
Perhaps there is some software on the Android device that is proxying the connection. If you check bandwidth usage, does anything seem unusually high that could be a "man in the middle"?
