826712 - orkut.com doesn't recognize Fennec and B2G UAs as mobile

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

orkut.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.

When accessing http://www.orkut.com/, we get redirected first to http://www.orkut.com/Main#home and then right away to accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=orkut

The Accounts Google page has been made for mobile devices.

Firefox OS has an UA override in place for accounts.google.com and orkut.com. IIRC, without the overrides, after signing in to Orkut you'll be redirected to the desktop site.

Waiting for the resolution of the accounts issue. So we can move on this one with our usual contact at Google.

Contacted Alex (Google)

We are receiving the desktop version after the login.

So.

# Firefox for Android. 
Being logged in Google. 
entering orkut.com, we are redirected to http://m.orkut.com/PreSignup page
with the message "Bad, bad server. No donut for you."

# Firefox OS
Being logged in Google.
entering orkut.com, we are redirected to http://www.orkut.com/Presignup page
with the form for Desktop.

Still not fixed for both.

Orkut is still not sending mobile version. I will contact Alex about it.

Comment 9

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

So I will recontact alex. 
Today I tested by faking Chrome 30 Mobile user agent on Firefox and it is mostly working. There are a few glitches here and there, but it's a lot better than nothing.
