Confirmed 2002032203/WinXP

Contact info: info@desjardinssecuritefinanciere.com While using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020318 Netscape6/6.2.1+ ; there is a pop-up saying that "the web site is not optimized for Netscape 6.0 products" When clicking on "Communiquer avec nous" there is an "unknown error" before displaying the feedback form in a pop-up window. Same error occurs when clicking on "mes finances" image, (top of page, in the middle). Component -> "the americas" as it's a bank from Quebec.

After having faked my browsers identity I could access your website without any problem. Mozilla browsers are getting more and more market share every day (about 20% as of october 2004) you should let these 20% potential customers access your website as they are using 100% web standard compliant browser. (see http://w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) In a hope that you'll remove or fix your browser detection script I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Your company deals with security; I'm sure you are aware that mozilla browsers are known to be far more secure than Internet Explorer; this is yet another reason to fix your web site. -- Jonathan Ernst P.S. Your website's bug is discussed here in mozilla's bug tracking system: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131634 I'm confident that it'll bring your company good publicity if you show that you care about your customers. ----------------------------------------------------

This site works great in Firefox, but is busted in non-Firefox UAs.

Seems like FF market share augmentation resolved this problem.... Works in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 but still giving problems with trunk vesions...

This may work with Firefox but not with browsers that don't have the string "Firefox" in their UA (e.g. SeaMonkey, Minefield), therefore, it's NOT fixed.

Oups ... sorry.

fixed

Still not fixed... https://www.assurancecollectivedesjardins.com/ica/corpolib/content/aa1/francais/aa11.asp

i only checked the homepage and clicked a few links.....

I still get some JS alert sheet in Camino whether I have "Firefox" in the UA string or not. I don't speak French, so I don't know what the sheet says, but yeah...

The alert says, in French: "AA3001 - The current site is not optimised for the navigator version that you're using.". I don't get this alert if I have "Firefox/2.0.0.19" in my SeaMonkey user agent string.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009. If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself. Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
