968073 - overstock.com sends desktop site to Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect, P5)

Description

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

The website detects other mobile browsers to send mobile sites. Smartphones running the FirefoxOS operating system get a desktop site which is heavier and harder to use.

Tried to contact again today. Started with Live Chat and was referred to the support phone number 1-800-843-2446. Spoke with someone who gave their email address, I sent over the bug details to be forwarded to tech support.
