Firefox is forcing mobile version. (Win10) It's fine in other browsers.

Those sites specifically. The other browsers run it fine as normal, even the only version of Firefox ran it fine, I just updated and now this.

This is definitely bad user agent sniffing. I get the mobile page with Firefox 40 on Linux with a Firefox 40 user agent and not with a Firefox 39 or lower user agent.

Strange, same on Windows 7. Fortunately, both pages have a "full site" link at the bottom which fixes the display. Presumably this sets a cookie, though, so if the cookie is cleared the mobile display probably will return. I started looking at their browser detection script, but... it hurt my eyes.

I made myself a general.useragent.override string and set it to Firefox 39 so I'm good for now.

I'll try and contact the owners of the website. Thanks!
