Both those sites are not serving mobile content to Firefox for Android. There are bugs open bugs available for anyone who can make contact to the administrators to let them know that Firefox for Android is more than capable of handling their mobile content: NYTimes bug 753818. I will morph this bug for the economist mobile site (which does a redirect back to their desktop site because of UA sniffing).

Fixed. Probably fixed at the same time we contacted the NYTimes.
