1019212 - priceline.com sends desktop site to Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

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

This site intends to send smartphones to a dedicated smartphone version, but fails to detect Firefox OS-powered devices correctly and sends desktop content instead. This HTTP analysis shows how the sniffing works:

Firefox Android redirected to http://www.priceline.com/smartphone/?, Firefox OS not redirected

Selected HTTP response headers:

I pointed them to this bug report. For Priceline engineers, Hello!

The Firefox OS UA string has the following pattern.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:$VERSION) Gecko/$VERSION Firefox/$VERSION

You may want to detect /mobi/i and redirects to http://www.priceline.com/smartphone/
