I did install an add-on to access a mobile website through Firefox on my Windows XP PC a few days back. I immediately deleted this ads-on as this did not work for me.

Since then, my Firefox on My PC is redirecting to the mobile versions of all websites that have a mobile version of them. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck!

I have back up of my bookmarks, pswds and add-ons extra so when ever I reinstall I run the restore and the problem too restores! Please help me with a solution to the problem.

Thank you.
