firefox user agent switcher does not go back to normal

I installed the user agent switcher add-on to my Firefox. Once I set a mobile browser and since then, for a news site automatically the m.newssite.com version comes in. Even when I set the user agent back to Firefox. Is it possible that not my browser but the web server of the newssite remembers my ip as a mobile device? How can I get back the normal version of the site?

          The site probably set a cookie. Go to Firefox > Options > Privacy > Show cookies Then look through the list for cookies from *.newssite.com and remove them. You will have to re-customize any preferences for that site, but it should default you back to the non-mobile site.
