Dell.jp anti-Firefox?
I’m somewhat frustrated with Dell Japan’s refusal to support Firefox. Whenever I attempt to order something from the Dell Japan site, I am greeted with the following Access Denied screen.
Yeah, sure, it was easy enough to install the User Agent Switcher for Firefox and pretend to be using Internet Explorer on Windows XP instead of Firefox on Linux, but the point is that I shouldn’t have to do all that just to order a computer.
The ironic thing about all this, of course, is that rumor has it that Dell will start pre-installing Firefox in some markets in 2006. Somebody should let Dell Japan know that its own customers may be unable to use its Web site with the browser it may soon be providing.
