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 sniffing works - the first request is with a Firefox OS User-Agent and the second with an iPhone User-Agent (selected headers quoted):

GET http://hh.ru/ HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:26.0) Gecko/26.0 Firefox/26.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 52657

GET http://hh.ru/ HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25

HTTP/1.1 302 Found

The content I get now looks much more mobile-like
