Contacted via form on site.
I'm working at Mozilla to solve Web Compatibility issues. I'm reporting an issue about your Web site not working properly with Firefox OS (Mozilla). This affects the following site:
http://www.metacafe.com
Could you put me in contact with the right person in the Communications/Marketing team and/or Technical team in charge of your Web site?
The issue is described in detail on the Mozilla bug tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=935475

metacafe belongs to Digital Collective Studios.
A human contact may help, maybe it will work better.

Hey guys, I'm Mike Flynn, VP of Tech @ Collective Digital Studio / Metacafe. Looks like we need to add a string to Metacafe's mobile discovery code?

Hi Mike! Thanks for the quick response. Yes Firefox OS is not being detected as a mobile browser. The user agent string looks something like: Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:28.0) Gecko/28.0 Firefox/28.0 and the recommended way to detect is by searching for the string "Mobi". If you need any help let us know.

No problem, I'll dive in track this down ASAP.
I'll confirm back on this thread once we've released the change.

Just deployed a change, and you now get the mobile experience when you have a user agent like the example above.
If there's anything else you need, feel free to shoot me an email or hit me up on Twitter directly: @mikeflynn_

> ...now I just need to get a Firefox OS phone to play with!
:) A few suggestions:
* in Firefox Web Developer Tools (Menu Tools -> Web Developer -> App Manager)
At the bottom there is "Start Simulator" (you might have to install a package for the first time)
It creates a window for testing sites and apps.

* For actual devices.
