Discount's web site works well with Firefox, however your browser must identify itself as Firefox and not Gecko or Iceweasel. In case you use a different browser, you get a message saying the site supports IE only, which is not true. On 8/16/07, Omer Zak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I do not have

That's not true. Discount mostly works with firefox, but it has some [important] features that fail to work. For example, if you have more than one account, the switch-account drop-down box does not open, so you can't even look at your other account. Dan On 8/16/07, Alon Altman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
