They work with Opera ... i don't care on Firefox :lol:
But if you really want it ... for sure, there is a extension for FireFox.
If it is still not implemented into FireFox Option dialog ...
You just need to search for an extension that can change the user-agent.
Thats all to get such stupid sides to work.

You can say it like you want ... for me, it makes no difference,
if a side is IE only, Firefox only, IE and Firefox only, Chrome only
and so on ... because they are using technologies that are not available
for Opera ... they will have there reason ... and thats it for me. For
example, MS doesn't have released Silverlight for Opera ... so always
when i come to a page that uses Silverlight ... i will skip it. But
in the most cases, they are just out dated and checking for the user-agent.
No one knows why they are doing it ... but they do without a real reason.
So you can view this sites with any browser you like ... just by changing
the user-agent to the browser that is expected. Opera has implement
that in the site-specific option dialog ... so i don't have any problem with
that. And thats all what i wanted to say to you. :)

Okay. :) BTW, both those pages don't work in Opera either. I didn't change the user-agent though, which is probably what you did to get them working. End users shouldn't have to muck around like that, is all I'm trying to say to you. ;)
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!

Thats why i call this sites "stupid" :wink:


The most (modern) websites are more likely to grant specific
features just for a specific browser. So you can access the
site with any browser ... but you will not see the really impressive
features. If you access this pages only with one browser
every time, you will not see, that there are features hidden.

Btw.:
I'm really glad, that more and more sites are seeing Opera as
a important target ... so there are more and more pages who
have the text "designed for [...] Opera [...]" ... thats what i
really care for. 8)
