      No description provided.
The site intends to send smartphones to a separate page, but does a limited name-based detection and fails to recognise Firefox OS devices as smartphones. Here's the script they are using:

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
    var mobile = (/Series60|Nokia|SymbianOS|iphone|android|blackberry|mini|windows\sce|palm/i.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()));
    if (mobile) {
        document.location = "http://m.financialexpress.com";
    }
// ]]></script>

fixed by responsive design.
tested on ios, firefox android, firefox OS.
