Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When I try to access http://www.sport.es, firefox redirects me to http://m.sport.es/, which is not displayable since I'm not using a portable device. This did not happen in Lucid neither other previous version of ubuntu. It does not happen with chrominium or other any other browser using webkit.

Regards

That's redirecting based on the UA string, which is a website bug. Please report the bug to the website owner

You also might want to restart the browser after an upgrade.

Well, I did it :). What makes you think I did not?

The fact that at the time you reported the bug, the instance of firefox you had running was still the pre-upgrade version:

Profile "default" (The Default):

  No GRE Extensions in this Profile.

  Application Extensions:
      /<email address hidden> does not exist (old profile?)
      /<email address hidden> does not exist (old profile?)

Ups :). Maybe there were another instance of firefox running in a
different virtual desktop. Thanks for the tip then. I will be more
careful next time.

Best regards
