A mobile site is served to Firefox for Android. Looks like they're sniffing for the "Android" token.

Confirmed. They are sniffing for the "Android" token in the UA string and sending a 302 to the desktop site if it isn't found. 

But it can't appear just anywhere, oddly, "MozillAndroid/5.0..." gets the mobile site while "...Mobile; Android;..." doesn't.

This website is using server side user agent detection to determine if a user is browsing using a desktop or mobile client. Unfortunately the site is not properly detecting the user agent string for mobile Firefox browsers. This is causing Firefox mobile browsers to be redirected to the desktop version of the website rather than mobile.
