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 browser detection works:

Firefox Android and Safari on iPhone are redirected to http://m.origo.hu/index.html, Firefox OS not redirected

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

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:30) Gecko/30 Firefox/30'

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
