The rpp.com.pe site uses JavaScript to try to detect the device the site is loading on. The script fails to recognise Firefox OS devices as smartphones.

The script is part of an inline script, and the browser detection part looks like this:

 function chkdevice() { var uagent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); mobiledevices=new Array("maemo","symbian","blackberry","android","iphone","ipod","ipad","playstation"); for (key in mobiledevices){ if (uagent.search(mobiledevices[key])> -1){ if ((uagent.search('mobile')> -1)&&(uagent.search('ipad')==-1)) return 1; else return 2; } } return 0; } if (rppsitepage=='portada') { if (urlactual.indexOf('/?portada')==-1) { var device=chkdevice(); if (device==1) document.location='http://m.rpp.com.pe'; } } if (rppsitepage=='detalle') { if (referer.indexOf('rpp.com.pe')==-1) { var device=chkdevice(); if (device==1) { urlmovil=urlactual.replace(hostname,'m.rpp.com.pe'); document.location=urlmovil; } } }
