clarin.com mobile site never loads in Firefox OS web browser

:: Steps To Reproduce

Loading android.clarion.com never finishes, it hangs with a "loading" animation.

The reason appears to be a "g is not a function" error that is thrown inside jq.ui.min.js . Relevant code:

      a.jqmScrollerId, h[b] ? a = h[b] : (n || (n = {}), d.feat
                .nativeTouchScroll || (n.useJsScroll = !0), a = g(
                    this[f], n), h[b] = a);
        return 1 == this.length ? a : this
    };
    var e = !1, g;

As the code never seems to set the g variable in this scope to a function, I'm not surprised that it throws. This looks like a bug, and by variable names (there's no copyright or script name in the code) I think this is code from the Intel App Framework. 

After verifying that new versions of this framework work with Firefox, we can refer clarin.com developers to this link:

:: Expected Result

A working site

:: Actual Result

A broken site

When we've done some analysis (and perhaps outreach) in bug 977370, we can switch this one to contactready..

the JS error is gone (although the content you get doesn't look like a mobile site..)
