I was sick of seeing fuzzy image assets on google.com and facebook.com, so I decided to get to the root of the problem.
It turns out both vendors are shipping assets based on user-agent strings. If a device is identified as being Firefox, it is sent 1x image assets. Bug here. <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216185> This results in an obviously unpolished experience for FirefoxOS users on devices with decent displays. *We have two options:* A. We evangelise/negotiate with site owners and convince them to ship decent sized images to FirefoxOS users. B. We follow other browser vendors' (Google and MS <http://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/06/17/building-a-more-interoperable-web-with-microsoft-edge/>) and alter our user agent string to prevent us being discriminated against. This must be fixed if we are going to pursue the best web experience on mobile. *W I L S O N P A G E* Front-end Developer Firefox OS (Gaia) London Office Twitter: @wilsonpage IRC: wilsonpage
