1003806 - lun.com shows low-quality images in Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect, P5)

Description

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

Attachment: Lun.com comparison screenshots

Browsing the lun.com site, the images are blurry on a Firefox OS device but sharp in Firefox for Android. This is because the site thinks the Firefox OS device is a feature phone with a small screen, and sends images that are around 100x100 pixels. These are scaled up to fit the smartphone screen of a typical Firefox OS device, causing a loss of quality.

The different sizes of the image is decided on the server and hard-coded in the markup sent to the device.

(This is sometimes caused by using an old version of WURFL or a similar capability detection framework)

The site seems to belong to "El Mercurio" which itself seems to belong to a big group of Press "GRM Grupo El Mercurio"
