891032 - (SummitRacing.com) - Serving WAP to Firefox on Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Justin Dow [:jabba]]

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S4, original T-mobile/Samsung firmware. Installed Firefox from Play Store.

When I go to summitracing.com via the url bar, or via a link from google, it downloads an html file and opens it in the HTML Viewer app on the phone (not in Firefox) and the downloaded html file is missing CSS and isn't useable.

The phone came pre-installed with Chrome and going to summitracing.com on the Chrome app opens the web site just fine, looks good and is functional for general shopping and browsing.

They are serving Content-Type: wap, which we do not render. They need to accept out user-agent to acknowledge that we are a modern browser.

So rather a Tech Evangelism bug?

Comment 3

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Yes.

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

I've contacted them via their feedback form at https://summitracing.custhelp.com/app/feedbackpopup regarding this.

On Firefox OS and Firefox Android, we get basically a call for a WAP, which is a blank page or call for an app handling wap. (Opera Mobile Android is receiving the good content)
