Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[u421692]

Environment:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android 4.0.4)/HTC Desire HD (Android 2.3.5)
Build: Nightly 25.0a1 (2013-07-29)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox Mobile.
2. Go to addons.mozilla.org by tapping in the URL bar and typing the URL.

Expected results:
The Android add-ons page is displayed.

Actual results:
The mobile version of the page is displayed but the page is for Desktop Firefox not for Android Firefox Mobile.

When accessing the add-ons from setting menu, the correct page is opened.

I don't see any recent changes to apps/constants/applications.py so it must be something else.
