(Whiteboard: [country-all][serversniff][sitewait])

Xbox.com sends mobile site to Chrome but desktop site to Firefox mobile (Android & FFOS). Spoofing User Agent makes the site provide the mobile version. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox Android browser 2. Navigate to xbox.com Expected result: Redirect to mobile site like Chrome does Actual result: Receive desktop version of the site
