msn.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 819210 added an UA override for this domain. The override should be removed once the domain serves mobile content to B2G. This bug tracks the evangelism for the site to recognize the B2G UA and the removal of the override at that time.

I have seen plenty of other microsofties emails in the bugzilla. Now the job is to find the right person. :)

tried to contact another person of Microsoft.

In the process. Contact established. > Hi Karl, > > I have forwarded your inquiry to our mobile dev team. I will get back to you shortly. > > Thank you, > ******

Just status update, I'm in contact with two persons at Microsoft for this bug. The latest email exchange we had was on August 26, 2013. Waiting an answer from them.

sent a reminder.

ZTE Open (Firefox OS) still receiving the desktop site. Hmm.

Sent a ping to know if we can get the Firefox OS too.

From the forums a user notice that going to http://www.msn.com in Firefox for Android now redirects directly to Bing.

Yep, confirmed. Meanwhile Chrome gets sent to http://t.msn.com.

Currently in Canada with Firefox ANDROID Accessing http://www.msn.com/ redirects to a mobile friendly content at http://home.mobile.en.ca.msn.com/device/default.aspx If I go at the bottom to click on Worldwide, I get a list of countries. 1. Select Thailand, get an error page for Desktop 2. Select India, get another error page. 404 3. Select USA English or Spanish, back to the Canadian Web site 4. Select Brazil, getting the mobile site http://home.mobile.br.msn.com/device/default.aspx 5. Select France, getting the mobile site http://home.mobile.fr.msn.com/device/default.aspx 6. Most of them seem to be working On Firefox OS, still not working. Receiving Desktop site.

On December 23, a person from Microsoft told me that the Engineering was planning to fix that by July 2014.

I closed 958683 as a dupe of this, which was reported specifically about US people getting redirected to bing.com. Feel free to reopen if it makes more sense to have diff. issues... this bug is maybe getting a little crowded. :)

We are not yet in July 2014, so this is not solved. Cf Comment #13 But tested from Japan. Entering http://msn.com/ we get redirected on a ZTE Open device Firefox 1.2 to http://jp.msn.com/?rd=1&ucc=JP&dcc=JP&opt=0 which is the desktop content too. Also the site http://onmobile.msn.com/ seems to describe sites on Mobile for different microsoft Web properties. They have a section called "Mobile Web" http://onmobile.msn.com/en/Platforms/MobileWeb If I ask details about MSN http://onmobile.msn.com/en/Products/MobileWeb/MSN > Just type MSN.com in your mobile browser on your > Windows Phone 8, iPhone (iOS 5+) or Android (2.3+) > smartphone. The new MSN was built from the ground > up to bring you a clean, simple and fast way to > stay in the know. Built for touch, you can navigate > the new MSN with just your thumb. Swipe through our > top channels and when you’re done reading an article, > swipe to view the next article. We’ve reimagined > MSN for your smartphone. That seems a very restricted view of the Mobile Web. :) Setting IEMobile 10 User agent. The version sent for MSN is http://t.jp.msn.com/?rd=1&ucc=JP&dcc=JP&opt=0 It has a lot of grid stuff in the CSS and so looks obviously broken on Firefox OS. For example. > body div.head{-ms-grid-column:2} > .banner body div.head{-ms-grid-row:2} > body.banner{-ms-grid-rows:auto auto auto auto auto} > body.banner #banners{-ms-grid-column:2} Setting the user agent to be Safari on iOS 4 (old), the version sent is still, but different content that IEMobile 10. It looks like a version for low end mobile. It doesn't contain any Webkit or Microsoft profile and works well in Firefox OS. http://t.jp.msn.com/?rd=1&ucc=JP&dcc=JP&opt=0 Setting the user agent to be Android 4.4 - Chrome 30 "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4; Nexus 5 Build/BuildID) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/30.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36" It displays ok. There are a few webkitism and surprisingly some -ms- properties without the equivalent of non prefixed. It's not always consistent. Example: > #fbcount iframe,#twcount iframe{ > border:0; > height:2rem; > overflow:hidden; > -webkit-transform:none; > -webkit-transform-origin:0 0 > } A bit of flexbox too with old wiki syntax. > display:-webkit-box; It's quite easy to fix. The site has been made for a fixed screen size, which is unfortunate. because they were close to have something which could be easily adjusted to a wide variety of smartphones with One stylesheet to rule them all. http://t.jp.msn.com/?rd=1&ucc=JP&dcc=JP&opt=0

Tested again today and not solved on both Firefox OS and Firefox Android. When emulating a Chrome 30 Mobile on Android 4.4 UA, we receive a perfectly working mobile site. We just need to receive the same version. Contacting someone different at Microsoft.

For microsoft teams, User Agent strings for Firefox OS https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference#Firefox_OS User Agent strings for Firefox on Android https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference#Android

With the modifications of the User Agent to include Firefox Android version Number we receive now the mobile site. Firefox OS is still receiving the Desktop version. We could add UA override to send Firefox Android version number.

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
