Sends Desktop version to FFOS.

This site intends to send mobile browsers to a simplified UI, but the JavaScript that handles browser detection is hard-coded to consider "Firefox" a desktop browser:

    if ((BrowserDetect.browser=="Firefox" && BrowserDetect.version>=1.0) || (BrowserDetect.browser=="Explorer" && BrowserDetect.version>=6.0) || (BrowserDetect.browser=="Chrome") || (BrowserDetect.browser=="Safari") || (BrowserDetect.browser=="Opera" && BrowserDetect.version>=9.8)){
       document.location.href = "http://"+document.location.host+"/mail/index.fm";
    }
</script>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://freemail.hu/szimpla/">

This script should be changed to detect Firefox versions for mobile or tablet devices (for example by finding the string "Mobi" or "Tablet" in the navigator.userAgent string) and make sure it serves the appropriate UI.

(although I'm not sure if the "szimpla" UI is what we want? Seems like potentially even Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android are sent to the same version of the site we get, based purely on what that script looks like..)

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
