Not nominating this to block. This seems like a tech evangelism issue.

This site intends to send mobile browsers to a mobile site, but doesn't know that Firefox OS devices are smartphones. Hence the browser on Firefox OS phones get desktop content instead of mobile.

The HTTP traffic analysis below shows how the sniffing works:


Firefox OS is redirected to /english/index.aspx, Firefox for Android and Safari on iPhone are redirected to http://mobile.emirates.com/

Selected HTTP response headers (Firefox OS, Firefox on Android, Safari on iPhone):

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:29.0) Gecko/29.0 Firefox/29.0'
