In the source code we can find which shows there are at least 3 sites (mobile, tablet, desktop)

<script type="text/javascript">
var domainConfig = {
    baseDomain: "rfi.fr",
    defaultSubdomain: "www",
    mobileSubdomain: "m",
    tabletSubdomain: "t",
    currentSubdomain: "www",
    currentLocale: {
        short: "fr",
        long: "fr_FR"
    }
};
var isAefHermes = true;
        </script>

Thank you for reaching us via Twitter,
I've successfully added your request to our websites's (RFI, France 24 and Monte Carlo Doualiya) TODOs,
The Firefox OS should be detected from our next websites update (within 1 to 2 months).

Regards, Romain Stievenard
