It sounds like you are using the Phony add-on to change your User-Agent header. It definitely needs to be set to "Default" for the addons.mozilla.org site to work correctly.

After setting User-Agent to "Default", try going to http://addons.mozilla.org/mobile - you were probably redirected to the wrong section of the site if you originally loaded it with a different User-Agent header.
