Hi Gerv,

Don't know. We probably should define a strategy of how we're going to get web content to move towards supporting the UA without the platform identifier, so that we don't get endlessly stuck with Android in the UA for FF OS in the long term.

For the v1 shipment - I originally nominated a bug in triage to ship v1 with the UA without the platform identifier with the whitelist implemented, but it got unnominated due to a need for a larger discussion if that's what we want to do for v1. Perhaps it's time to revisit that discussion and push for v1 support.

Sincerely,

sub-optimal to receive Android specific content. We should move to
the optimal UA in long-term though without the platform identifier.

Do we really think we will be able to make this shift post-v1? Surely shipping Firefox OS v1 with an Android-containing UA will simply embed the problem, as lots of sites will assume that the Firefox OS UA contains the word "Android"?
