There are differences. First of all, both Firefox OS and Firefox Android are redirected to 
http://m.falabella.com/mt/www.falabella.com/falabella-cl/

Then by just changing the UA in a narrow window of Firefox Desktop, the received content is different.

In the screenshot
(left)  Firefox OS UA
(right) Firefox Android UA

You can check that manually by doing a 

export URI="http://m.falabella.com/mt/www.falabella.com/falabella-cl/";http -b $URI "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:30.0) Gecko/30.0 Firefox/30.0">/tmp/foo1.txt;http -b $URI "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:30.0) Gecko/30.0 Firefox/30.0">/tmp/foo2.txt;git diff /tmp/foo1.txt /tmp/foo2.txt


That said I'm not sure why it is an issue. Any specific problems?

Hm.. you don't see the problem I see on the Geeksphone. I'll get a Tarako device shortly, will see how it renders there..

Tarako also renders the text very small, even harder to read than on the Geeksphone but same effect

There is a META viewport tag missing from the source code the Firefox OS browser gets.

Comment 7

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

Specifically: 
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0" name="viewport"></meta>

I'm not sure if it needs to / should say user-scalable=0, but if Firefox OS (and other mobile browsers) don't get the initial-scale=1.0 instruction they will show a "zoomed-out" version where the text is hard to read.

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
