Firefox and couponet

chippy2u

Is anyone else having problems logging in to Couponnet/beforeishop website using Firefox. I am using FF 3.6 and the site appears not to support this and I have to switch to IE to enter. Am I doing something wrong or is it them?

It's them, really a site should be viewable/usable in any browser, but not everyone (web developers and browser developers alike) follows standards which can lead to incompatibilities.

When you say the site doesn't work, are you getting a message telling you it's not compatible with Firefox, or is it just not loading/running the way it should? If it's the former, you can get an extension called User Agent Switcher that will allow you to change your user agent string easily and trick the site into thinking you're using IE (or any other browser).

If it's the latter, there are extensions you can get that temporarily replaces the rendering engine in FF with IE's engine, so that you're still using Firefox but the page is being loaded by IE - it's a bit neater than having to load IE every time, and you can set it so that certain pages use IE and everything else uses Firefox as normal. I think the extension is called IEView or IETab.
