Walmart Service Blocks FireFox, Safari, and Opera

Walmart in bed with Redmond?

Walmart denies access to FireFox, Safari, and Opera browsers. Simply switch your agent name and the site works perfectly with Opera. If you use the default opera agent name you get:

"We're sorry ...
Our website requires the browser Internet Explorer version 6 or higher. It appears that you are using Firefox, Safari, or another browser that Wal-Mart Video Downloads doesn't currently support. Click here to get Internet Explorer for free from Microsoft.

Thank You"

Looks like they got the whole thing sorted. I just checked today with Opera and Firefox (with their original UA) and the site looks fine.

I guess they don't want any business from Mac owners for whom Microsoft has discontinued IE.
