Question Question about Browser settings???

My girlfriend just got the epic for Sprint and when she uses the browser (default browser) all the pages and sites are in mobile view. I went to settings to change it for her but I cant find the correct setting to fix it. Can someone help?
Always bet on black.

DONATE TO ME
Open the browser then type in about:debug and hit enter. It wont do anything after hitting enter but if you go into options you will now have a option to change the UAString from mobile to desktop. The option is at the bottom of the option list.

I did the changes and they work but they aren't permanent. How do I make the desktop browser view stay?
Always bet on black.
