Tesco Internet Saver - Browser Blocker

Is it just me or has Tesco just recently introduced a browser check that blocks access to their log on page if you are not running Internet Explorer? I've had to download the User Agent Switcher addon to be able to use the site with Firefox (on which it works perfectly). :mad::mad:

    Hmm, interesting. Maybe it's because I've upgraded to 3.5. Although I tried spoofing the 3.0.11 user agent string and that didn't work for me either.

    Edit: Yep, it seems to be specific to Firefox 3.5. No issues with an older version running in a virtual machine. I guess Tesco needs to update its list of allowed user agents.
