833376 - Some manufacturers are listed twice on /firefox/mobile/platforms/

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect, P3)

Description

[Janet Swisher]

On http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/mobile/platforms/, several manufacturers are listed at the beginning of the list, and later in the list (after Dell), with different models under each instance.

* HTC
* Huwei
* Samsung
* Sony/Sony Ericsson

This is confusing for users, who might not notice the second instance, and might therefore think their device is not supported when it actually is.

Janet, do we know how this list is updated and who is responsible for keeping it current? 

I remember we built a mini-CMS in github using a flat file to update and I think it was for the purpose of updating this list.

Steven, does that sound right?

There are actually two lists on this page, one for phones and one for tablets, but it seems the headings for these lists have gotten lost somehow and they are just running together.

(and I'll sort it out)

I'm not involved in maintaining this list. This issue was brought to my attention by a user. It looks like mbrubeck maintains the corresponding list on the wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
