I saw this on the acura site too. This is a pretty disturbing trend. Can you guys look into this? (it not only says its WebKit only, it actually only works with WebKit, too). Disable flash to see the HTML5 site.

I think this has been fixed on the Ford site. When I test on FF29 in Linux seems OK. On the Build & Price page it tries to load flash, it asks "Don't Have Flash?" and you can continue in HTML5 in iOS 4+, Android 3+, FF 10+, IE 9+ or Safari 5+.

The mobile version of the Build & Price section has some webkit prefixed CSS buttons that don't render properly in fennec. Will open a new bug and check the Acura site.
