This reproduces from Desktop when spoofing the UA string.

If you click on the blue play/go arrow, here's what happens on Firefox OS:

GET -> http://www.nba.com/video/games/clippers/2014/02/05/0021300736-mia-lac-recap.nba
301 -> http://www.nba.com/video/games/clippers/2014/02/05/0021300736-mia-lac-recap.nba/
302 -> http://m.nba.com/
302 -> http://mi.nba.com/

Firefox for Android just ends up on the Desktop (correct) page, without the mobile redirect. Chrome Mobile ends up on a mobile optimized page with the correct video.

We should reach out to them and ask that they send Firefox for Android and Firefox OS to the same place they send Chrome.

So as all Yahoo! bugs, I can't reproduce from Japan, because getting the site from Yahoo Singapore. it's ok. 

Mike is the bug about the nba site or the yahoo site. From your comment I seem to understand it's about nba.com

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

@Karl, the bug is about nba.com redirects. Changing the URL to reflect that.

The Firefox OS project is not active anymore.
