From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: The Canadian BMW website doesn't work with the Fedora version of Firefox (well, the Linux version in general). The site works with the Windows version, however. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0.7-1.1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Firefox 2. Go to www.bmw.ca 3. Click on "Back to BMW website" under the "Ignore Warning" section. Actual Results: Site is completely toasted: does not render properly at all. Expected Results: Should render and look nearly identical to the website render by Firefox under Windows. Additional info: Not sure if this is a Fedora problem, or upstream (Mozilla) issue.
I'm using Firefox 1.5 (not the Fedora version) and I get a message saying that my browser isn't supported, and that I should download either IE or Firefox for Windows, or Safari or Firefox for Mac OS. What it really means is that the OS isn't supported, but whoever coded the website is too clueless to know the difference between an OS and a browser, so the message doesn't make sense. For a similar example of brain-dead website design, see www.gap.com. So the problem is almost certainly with the website, not with Firefox or Fedora.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.

I'm now running FC6 with latest updates: the www.bmw.ca landing page still comes up with the warning message. However, clicking on the "Back to BMW website" under the "Ignore Warning" section is okay - the website is now rendering properly (mosttly). I noticed one minor problem so far (text running into each other). I think the Flash upgrade made the biggest difference. I think it's safe to close this ticket.
