827666 - slideshare.net doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

slideshare.net 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.

Chris: I seem to recall you have good contacts with the folks at slideshare. Could you help us?

(maybe a bit too quick there - when spoofing a desktop build as Fx on Android I do indeed get the mobile site, but when trying to view a presentation in this mode it never finishes loading..? Seems to work OK on the phone when it's spoofing though.)

We pushed a change today . That should load slideshare mobile site even after you stop overriding UA for this domain .

Let me know if it's fixed ([e-mail]).

Seems to work fine - thank you, Saptarshi! :-) 
(Tested on emulator - the only issue I saw was that it sometimes says "NaN" in the lower right corner - I guess you intended to show something like "[slide] 1/5")

Tested on ZTE device with Firefox OS and without UA override.

Success: We get the mobile site. So we can remove the UA override. I am opening another bug related to what is happening after :) Bug 908193

Verified - the NaN issue is also gone :)
