mydealz.de uses a popular WordPress plugin called WPTouch. This plugin is not configured to detect Firefox OS devices correctly as smartphones.

An upcoming version of WPTouch will be compatible with Firefox OS. Either applying patches to the current version or upgrading to the new version when it's ready will solve this problem.

Hm.. it seems they are also doing some backend sniffing. HTTP request analysis:

Significant difference in source code:
Response sent to Firefox OS has Content-Length: 99678
Response sent to Firefox Android has Content-Length: 29670

Selected HTTP response headers:

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:18.1) Gecko/18.1 Firefox/18.1'
Response Status: 200
content-length: 99678
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:26.0) Gecko/26.0 Firefox/26.0'
Response Status: 200
content-length: 29670
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

(I guess that's part of how the wptouch plugin works.)

Upgrading to the latest version of WPTouch fixes the issue. See
