Starbucks (UK) Vs Linux

I can't believe how braindead Starbucks' UK website is. If you're running Linux and trying to register your Starbucks card you'll get this message:



Browser error

We're sorry, your browser doesn't support the Starbucks Card registration pages of this website.

Please update your browser to Internet Explorer version 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator version 6.0 or above.

Thank you.


Here I was thinking Firefox 3 was above Netscape 6.


Of course, if you switch the User Agent to say that you're running Windows, all works well. 1999 called - they want thier browser detection back.


Maybe it has something to do with having headquaters in Seattle.
