878649 - univision.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

univision.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 823364 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.

Interesting this site is managed in California for the spanish speaking communities. The Company Web site is at http://corporate.univision.com/.

CONFIRMED. Firefox OS doesn't receive the mobile site when Firefox for Android and android stock browser does.

Iphone (Safari), Android (Chrome) gets a respective splash page for downloading an app before being redirected to the mobile site. Firefox for Android gets redirected to the mobile site. Firefox OS receives the desktop site.

Server Side user agent detection, redirection to another domain.

Suggestion for fixing the issue. Sending the same version of the site to Firefox OS than Firefox Android.

The [UA string for Firefox OS][1] has the patterns

    "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:$VERSION) Gecko/$VERSION Firefox/$VERSION"
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; nnnn; rv:$VERSION) Gecko/$VERSION Firefox/$VERSION"

* where `$VERSION` is a number.
* where `nnnn` is a string.

but we usually recommend to identify the substring `/mobi/` as much as possible so it will also help other browser vendors on mobile.
