Taringa.net is configured to send some mobile browsers to m.taringa.net, but fails to detect Firefox OS devices as smartphones. The Firefox on Android browser is not sent to the mobile site either, so it seems the backend considers every user agent with the word "Firefox" in as a desktop browser.

The HTTP-traffic analysis below shows how Safari on iPhone is redirected to http://m.taringa.net/, Firefox OS and Firefox on Android do not get redirected.

Selected HTTP response headers (Firefox OS, then Firefox on Android, then Safari on iPhone):

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:18.1) Gecko/18.1 Firefox/18.1'
Response Status: 200
content-type: text/html; charset=utf8

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:26.0) Gecko/26.0 Firefox/26.0'
Response Status: 200
content-type: text/html; charset=utf8

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit

Response Status: 302
