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:


Safari on iPhone is redirected to http://mobile.united.com/?root=1&Mobile=1, Firefox OS and Firefox on Android not redirected

Selected HTTP response headers (Firefox OS, Firefox on Android, Safari on iPhone):

It seems invalid. On any browsers I receive a desktop site.
