#26352: When using "request desktop site" in Orfox, a mobile phone User-Agent gets
sent instead of a desktop browser User-Agent

= What happens =
When I request a web page normally, the following User-Agent header gets
sent by Orfox:
{{{
Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
}}}
''This is the correct behavior.''
However, when I select ''Menu'' > ''Request desktop site'', the same User-
Agent is ''also'' sent. (You can see this e.g.
[http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ here].) Because of this, websites will still
return the mobile version of a website instead of the desktop website.
You can try this at, for example, [http://google.com google.com].
== What should happen instead ==
When using ''"Request desktop site"'', a User-Agent for a desktop browser
should be sent instead of that of a mobile browser. The normal Firefox for
Android does this correctly.
