There are some mobile websites that do not load correctly on my Android phone in firefox.
I have a website that the mobile version will not load correctly on my phone: http://m.fabulousfox.com/. It is not that big of an inconvience since I can load the desktop version and that works fine, but I thought you could take a look at the site and see what the issue is. I have a SGS3 running Android 4.1.1 and Firefox 18. On the mobile site all I get is the title header and a blank page. The page does show up in chrome correctly.

May be the site don't have the Mobile version of their website.

The site unfortunately was written targeting WebKit; in-particular looking at their code, they have specific libraries targeting the iPhone only.
The best thing to do in this case is to complain to the web-author and the site-designers and to tell them that the web extends beyond the iPhone and in the end they are hurting their users.

I understand that the webkit that is targeting iPhone creates problem for firefox, but the fact that the site works in chrome and the android stock browser to me leads me to believe that there is a solution to get it to work in Firefox.
It is not. CSS prefixes are rendering engine specific. If the Site gives Firefox garbage data then Firefox will display garbage.
I confirm that the m.fabulousfox.com works on the webkit-based browser on BlackBerry Playbook as it looks like the Android Chrome screen shot.
