Ben,

Bug 907064 is NOT a duplicate of this bug. These are two different issues. Could you either reopen or close the 907064?

Done.  Whats the correct way to handle bugs that are filed as performance issue, but it appears its due to a desktop site is being returned for a mobile device?  Thanks.

OK this one is interesting.
Both Firefox for Android and Firefox OS User Agent strings are redirected to the mobile site.

But then on the ZTE device, the site shown is the desktop site with http://www.lepoint.fr/
On the Firefox for Android device, the site shown is the mobile site http://mobile.lepoint.fr/

On the desktop site I can find:

<link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" href="http://mobile.lepoint.fr" />
<link rel="alternate" media="handheld" href="http://mobile.lepoint.fr" />

If I type directly http://mobile.lepoint.fr/ on the ZTE, it is working. At least it is not going back to the desktop site.


There's one mobile detection script.
http://preroll.a4.tl/lepoint/js/detecte.js

function DetecteUA() {
var strUAgent = navigator.userAgent;
strUAgent = strUAgent.toLowerCase();
if (strUAgent.indexOf("iphone") >= 0) {
return "iphone"
} else if (strUAgent.indexOf("android") >= 0 && strUAgent.indexOf("mobile") >= 0) {
return "android"
} else if (strUAgent.indexOf("blackberry") >= 0) {
return "blackberry"
} else if (strUAgent.indexOf("ipad") >= 0) {
return "ipad"
} else {
return "autre"
}
}

So I wonder if the server sends to the mobile site but then the JavaScript sends the user back to the desktop site through storage parameters.


Mike, Hallvors, If you get a genius idea idea on how they do that. :)

Sigh. This site actually distinguishes FirefoxOS 1.0 (detected as mobile) and 1.1 (detected as desktop). They really rely on the "18.0" version being in the UA string.

I will contact them.

So indeed it looks like the User Agent string is hardcoded. Strange.
