Short answer: Firefox for Android's user-agent string doesn't distinguish
between 'mobile phone' and larger-screen devices, eg 'tablet', where we prefer
to show the full site by default.

So the current redirection script that checks user-agent can't determine if it
should redirect or not, and the faster server-side redirection being put in
place won't be able to handle this in any way unless future versions of Firefox
for Android send some sort of HTTP header data to distinguish phones from
tablets/netbooks/laptops.

As a temporary workaround, I propose updating the client-side JavaScript
redirector to use CSS media queries or such to detect very-small-screen Firefox
 and do the redirection then; the faster server-side user-agent can still work
for other browsers.
