| Aug 10, 2014 at 9:03 | comment | added | L. D. James | As per the the bottom section of my answer, the answer is yes. I have already suggested this. As as per my answer please understand that the author might not fix his program. He might suggest to you that you use a different browser. I believe an Internet Explorer version comes with most Android distributions (or something very similar). Using a different browser is also a part of my answer which might be your only immediate resolution. You've already learned that sites will look different on different browsers and the author of the browser might not change by your comments from Bugzilla. | |
| Aug 10, 2014 at 5:45 | comment | added | Gh0sT | Thanks for your inputs James & Dan. Here's the bug I reported to Bugzilla: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1051177 As you can see it has been resolved with the following comment: 'The author of the website has decided to send different content to our user agent probably based on compatibility reasons.' So does this mean it's NOT an issue with Firefox? I'm at a loss here. Should I take it up with the website developers now? | |

@Gh0sT It's no use telling us what should or shouldn't be implemented in Firefox. This isn't the Mozilla bug tracker. L. D. James is probably right: the website is serving Firefox a generic mobile version, and browsers based on Chrome (that's anything that uses WebView) get a Chrome version.

| Aug 9, 2014 at 8:49 | comment | added | Gh0sT | Yes..I do understand what you said. However since the website looks AND works similarly on other browsers except Firefox, I'm inclined to believe that this might be a shortcoming with the app itself. I don't understand what that 'shortcoming' is but since that totally breaks the site's functionality and Firefox being one of the better browsers out there, I think it should be implemented asap. | |
