They use a few framework jQuery, Bootstrap, and something heavily customized for them which is called dp.

They seem to use client side detection, but maybe a combination of both server-side and client-side.

The interesting thing is that they store the information not in a cookie but in localStorage. So it's a bit harder to reset. Clearing cookies will not work.

var Dp = {


    _hiddenVar: null,
    _visibilityChangeEvent: null,
    pageVisible: true,
    pageVariant: 'variant-desktop',
    isMobile: false,
    os: null || window.localStorage.getItem('os'),
    os_arch: null || window.localStorage.getItem('os_arch'),
    browser: null || JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem('browser')),
    speech: null,
    dockMode: window.localStorage.getItem('dockMode'),
    dockState: 'pageTop',

    detectBrowser: function () {
//etc
}
}

The main author of the JS code seems to be

We could try to contact him and sees if he can help us to get Firefox OS receive the mobile experience like other mobile browsers.

I now get a desktop page even when I spoof as the iPhone. Does this site send a mobile version to any browser?

I receive a mobile site on ipod touch device, and when faking Chrome Mobile UA on Firefox Desktop.
Firefox OS still receives a desktop site.

They store the browser version into localstorage

window.localStorage.getItem('browser')
"{"chrome":true,"version":"30.0.0.0","webkit":true}"
window.localStorage.os
"android"

window.localStorage.getItem('browser')
"{"mozilla":true,"version":"30.0"}"


This is persistent.

Let's close this as WONTFIX for Firefox OS. Firefox Android receives the right version.
