960862 - AMO thinks that my Intel-powered Android tablet runs Linux

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Will Pittenger]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131219175107

Steps to reproduce:

I was searching for extensions for use on my tablet with Firefox 26.  With Phone set to Default, Android Tablet, and Desktop Firefox; AMO seems convinced I'm running Linux.  (I also see messages for a lot of extensions that they haven't been updated for Firefox 26.  So AMO might also have the wrong numeric version of Firefox.)  I even tried with Phony disabled.

I should note that setting Phony to Android Tablet for some strange reason results in "AppleWebKit" being added to the user agent string.


Actual results:

I was searching for extensions that are Android only.  AMO claimed they were not compatible with Linux and wouldn't let me download them.  In fact, it claimed that some extensions, like TabMix+ *WERE* compatible with my device.


Expected results:

AMO should have known I wasn't on Linux and shown appropriate results.

Possibly related to bug 861470.

Comment 2

The issues I had with accessing the AMO appear to be resolved even with Phony set to Firefox Desktop.  If I don't add any more comments, I think you can call this bug resolved.
