From where I am, m.yahoo.com takes me to sg.m.yahoo.com (Singapore) which looks just fine, same as the Android stock browser gets. (It's odd that I'm not taken to m.yahoo.co.jp - I know the Japanese Yahoo is sort of a different company but one might expect some collaboration..)

Going to ro.m.yahoo.com does give me a simplified site in Fx Android - but the same site in Android stock browser! Given those results, I think the Romanian site is generally lagging behind other Yahoo sites and Yahoo should update it. As I don't find evidence that we're being discriminated against I close this as WFM.
