I would like to view the mobile version of websites on my laptop. but since desktop browsers do not have the abilitity to be reconized as a mobile browser it will only load the desktop version of the site.

This can be accomplished using Firefox with a plugin extension. To check it out click the following - LINK

EDIT - This plugin seems to be a mystery development tool and I haven't found a way to get is functioning properly.

firefox has a plug-in that changes the user-agent

This would be accomplished by spoofing the browser's User Agent HTTP request header. Try this Firefox extension, and set the user agent to one that Opera Mini or PocketIE has used.
