826335 - globo.com sends desktop content to Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

globo.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 819210 added an UA override for this domain. The override should be removed once the domain serves mobile content to B2G. This bug tracks the evangelism for the site to recognize the B2G UA and the removal of the override at that time.

Trying to check how the redirection is done. This seems to be done through JS and not at the HTTP level. I put the relevant piece of code into gist.

https://gist.github.com/karlcow/5977291#file-gistfile1-js-L5

 'matcherMobile': /android.*mobile|blackberry|docomo|fennec|htc|ip(?:hone|od)|lge|mot|netfront|nokia|opera\sm(?:ini|obi)|samsung-gt-s8500|skyfire|up\.browser|vx10000|wap|windows\s(?:ce|mobile\s7|phone\sos\s7)/i,
'matcherNotMobile': /android.*(gt-(?:p|n)|shw-|sc-01c|sch-i800|f-01d|ct100)|tablet|xoom/i,
'matcherMobileReferrer': /m\.globo\.com/,

Firefox OS User agent string is 

"Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0" 

It is not matching any of the mobile keyword. I would encourage you to match any mobile. There is a tablet in the NotMobile so that will fix for those who have "Mobile Tablet". Better would be responsive design and features detection, but that is another jam. :)

I will contact people at Globo.

Hello, I contacted 2 friends from Globo.com Andre Fonseca and Davidson Fellipe. They are web developers and maybe can help us on this.

Navigating to Globo.com on 2.0 Flame device now takes user to m.globo.com

However, navigating to oglobo.globo.com on same device does not direct user to m.oglobo.globo.com

Brogan, did you remove the UA override before testing?

Globo is still not sending Firefox OS to the mobile content.

For oglobo.globo.com, please open a separate bug. 
Thanks for pointing out this one.
You can use that form: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/form.mobile.compat

ua-update.json was not removed before testing. When globo.com rule was removed the issue was found to still reproduce.

Karl, I got a tweet today saying they've launched a fully responsive site now: https://twitter.com/leobalter/status/535867000783118336. Can you test with override disabled?

[Leo Balter]

I've tested this on Firefox OS 1.1 and 1.2 already (using the Bocoup ODL devices), it's working just fine. Touch events for horizontaly sliding content, opening accordion styled content, etc.

I would say it's fixed. 

Btw, it didn't find this issue searching on https://webcompat.com/issues, that's why I've sent the tweet.

Yes Working for me too.
This is fixed! Finally and for anyone. Hurrah!
We can also remove the UA override.
