I signed up for a free account at handsetdetection.com and am using the follow redirection script to test:

http://api.handsetdetection.com/sites/js/48063.js

A Firefox OS UA returns this:

ismobile : false,
	istablet : false,
	isconsole : false,
	xhtmllevel : 0,
	width :	0,
	height : 0,
	formfactor : "unknown",
	hdclass : "",
	vendor : "",
	model : "", 
	os : "",
	osversion : "",
	browser : "", 
	browserversion : "",
	urls : ["miketaylr.com","m.miketaylr.com"],
	country : "us",
	city : "austin",
	region : "texas",

	company : "grande communications",
	sid : "52cc42d2c2d41e1778236017",
	internalreferrer : 0,
	displaysize : 0,

Firefox for Android is correctly identified as mobile, but osversion and browserversion look wrong.

ismobile : true,
	istablet : false,
	isconsole : false,
	xhtmllevel : 4,
	width :	320,
	height : 480,
	formfactor : "bar",
	hdclass : "mobile",
	vendor : "generic",
	model : "android mobile", 
	os : "android",
	osversion : "1.5",
	browser : "firefox mobile", 
	browserversion : "",
	urls : ["miketaylr.com","m.miketaylr.com"],
	country : "us",
	city : "austin",
	region : "texas",
	isp : "grande communications",
	company : "grande communications",
	sid : "52cc4356218a72ac72798b03",
	internalreferrer : 0,
	displaysize : 0,

The Firefox OS Tablet UA also has some problems:
	ismobile : true,
	istablet : false,
	isconsole : false,
	xhtmllevel : 4,
	width :	240,
	height : 320,
	formfactor : "",
	hdclass : "mobile",
	vendor : "android",
	model : "generic", 
	os : "android",
	osversion : "1.5",
	browser : "android webkit", 
	browserversion : "",
	urls : ["miketaylr.com","m.miketaylr.com"],
	country : "us",
	city : "austin",
	region : "texas",
	isp : "grande communications",
	company : "grande communications",
	sid : "52cc4384c2d41e5178236000",
	internalreferrer : 0,

Have received a positive reply asking,

>Is this the best document to use as a reference source? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference

Sounds positive.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reporting this. Finalizing the updates today. 
Is it safe to assume that between Gecko version 18.1 
and 26.0 all the Firefox OS versions are 1.1 ?

Thanks.

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard,

Yeah, that's a safe assumption. :) AFAIK, there are no products in the wild between Gecko 18.1 and 26. But in theory an 18.X update could be made.

Just double checked and this is fixed now. Thanks Richard!
