Thanks @lmandel for the report.

From Japan, it's a bit more complicated. When entering http://www.nba.com/ I'm being redirected to http://www.nba.co.jp/?gr=www which is a perfectly working responsive Web site.

There's a function to redirect me to the US site at the top.

function setEdition(){
  var selectedEdition = $('select#edition-select').val();
  set_HP_default(selectedEdition);
}

but each time I select it, it stays on the Japanese site.

selectedEdition is correctly initialized with us, but set_HP_default() doesn't work.

function set_HP_default(val){
  var expires = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7; // set 7 days
  var today = new Date();
  today.setTime(today.getTime());
  expires = new Date(today.getTime() + (expires));
  $.cookie(navigationOptions.editionCookie, val, expires, "/")
  editionSetMessage();
  setTimeout('closeEdition()', 4000);
}

I finally manage to get to the US Web site.

The site at http://www.nba.com/ is not responsive and we are not redirected indeed to the mobile site.

The redirection is based on Android version number

Firefox Android UA is

Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:36.0) Gecko/36.0 Firefox/36.0

and doesn't trigger a redirect, while this non-existent UA triggers a redirect:

Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.4.0; Mobile; rv:36.0) Gecko/36.0 Firefox/36.0

This is happening server side.

To note that Firefox OS receives the mobile version. We need to find contacts. Mozilla has two bugs already for NBA.

• About Firefox OS (Fixed)
• About Firefox Android and banner (open)

@miketaylr had a contact at NBA: Jenn Schiffer @jennschiffer and the main person who handled the bug for Firefox OS was Nicholas Ortenzio @youbastard

I don't know if both are still working there and can help us again to reach the right persons.

[jennschiffer]

I don't work there anymore, but @youbastard does. I reached out to him over the weekend about it.

[dysphasia]

Passing this on to some internal groups at the NBA / Turner.

@lmandel is is fixed? (Still receiving the Japanese site from where I test).

[lmandel]

Yes! Firefox for Android is now redirected to the mobile site.
