How to view the Mobile version of a website on your desktop computer in Firefox.

Since it’s hard to find any help on how to simulate an iPhone or Android, to view how your amazing website with a mobile version available looks like on your computer (FireFox), here is the quick and easy Sundstedt.se guide for you.

(This is tried and tested to view your WPtouch version of a WordPress page, on your computer in FF).
