tmall.com serves desktop content to B2G and a more simplistic mobile site to Fennec.

Now Firefox for Android gets the page
http://www.tmall.com/go/market/main/unsupport.php?iwRet=true

and when you click on the provided link, you get http://mobile.tmall.com/
which is not for mobile, but proposed apps to download

There is another link which is 
http://m.tmall.com/?spm=0.0.0.0.9qvpjp&v=0

And it works well.

So the goal is to have them to send Firefox Android and Firefox OS directly to
http://m.tmall.com/?spm=0.0.0.0.9qvpjp&v=0

Assigning to yliu for the Chinese Market, but welcome if a volunteer wants to take over.
