Website blocks Firefox users due to Ad Blocker

That is weak. IE has no featured and no pluggins. There are so many features that firefox comes with out the box. IE is just not good.

The line of argument - in my opinion - is flawed. Arguing that not watching someone's ads is stealing cannot be meant seriously. What happens next? Some TV Station sueing my for grabbing a beer while they broadcast their ads (free TV is paid for by ads, so every viewer MUST watch alle the ads or they'd be stealing).
What about ads in magazines? Am I stealing because I flip to the next page without even realizing what company that ad was for?

And if someone starts arguing now that Internet is different because I use automated means to suppress ads then I have to reply that they also use automation to maximize their effect via pop-ups, etc. In a magazine I just flip a page, if the website uses means to get more ads into my face then I will use means to prevent them from doing just that...

We agree, people have a right to block ads.Period.We at wibiki have created a server-side adblocker and have imbedded a social community in the ad space.Our motto is "make ad space your space".Check it out and tell us what yo think, KEEP BLOCKING becuase USERS RULE!!!

This is the beauty of capitalism and freedom of speech. If the owner of the site wants to block Firefox, fine. But he'll have to suffer the consequences. If a site that I want to visit is going to block me because I use a particular browser, that's fine, I'll just take my business/audience elsewhere.

Hello guys,
What code should i use in greasemonkey in order to remove the redirect?

lynx still works. game on.

It seems that he's now reverted to an even simpler system, merely changing the user agent string now works.

Reading through the website, it's fairly obvious that Mr Carlton (aka Jack Lewis) is not the brightest of people. In between some rather dumb entries on his blog, we find a chapter of his novel...

To be fair, it could be worse. The spelling and grammar are alright, and it didn't go into the evangelical rant against modern society that I was half expecting. But a quick read of that chapter does not suggest that this man should spend his life writing novels.

Thank you
for the html code to block firefox users
I been looking for it for long time.
Thank you
firefox just sucks

In firefox:
- we don't have to go through proprietary objects like activex just to do a simple thing like xmlhttp request -- on the contrary, we do it like every other browser out there except IE.
(IE does not support AJAX properly even though Microsoft invented the now standardized technique)
- we've never had to write page after page of code to load external programs just to display images properly. In fact no image-capable browser that I know of has ever forced web designers to do this.. Except IE. (IE6 requires external programs to load PNG images properly)
- We don't have to set long, drawn-out values on proprietary properties to do simple things like lowering the opacity of elements. No? No, we can just set opacity in very well documented CSS, like any other browser -- except IE of course. (CSS filters are not part of any standard, it would be nice if IE's opacity filter could be aliased through the proper way)
- It's OK to set gamma in PNGs, they will still be displayed using the correct shading on web pages -- same as any other browser -- Oh, except IE (which will apply PNG gamma and not allow gamma to be set on the document, so that gamma in PNGs breaks the page presentation)
- We can already use a good part of HTML5, including canvas, without plugins -- same as every other modern, graphical browser -- oh, except IE (which has to load the excanvas plugin from google/mozilla in order to use this functionality)
- we have just as many vendor-specific properties as anyone else, and of course they're prefixed as the w3c recommends -- just like every other browser -- oh, except IE, which instead pollutes the css namespace with garbage as a joke
- we can view XHTML documents as XML, just like every other browser - oh, except Internet Explorer, how about that? (xhtml served as text/html is not xhtml, just invalid html)
- we can include html tags in our .txt files and serve them as text/plain, without the browser interpreting them incorrectly as HTML -- same as any other browser -- except IE
- we've been able to use pseudo-classes with all of the appropriate elements -- odd that IE6 was at the time the only browser to not support these properly even though it was a Microsoft invention
- we can use pseudo classes such as :before and :after, and don't need to clutter our page with a lot of unnecessary markup -- same as all other browsers except IE, which is oblivious to them and feels we should have to mix presentation with behaviour with layout. It should be noted that Opera and I think Safari have far better support for generated content than what Firefox has, but at least we have the basics. Internet Explorer, why are you stuck in the nineties?

Zubair, I don't mean to disagree, Firefox in many respects has some catching up to do with Safari and Opera, and it's fair to say in light of those that it sucks.

But if you're blocking Firefox because "it sucks", then I hope you're also blocking seriously deficient browsers like Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and internet Explorer 8 -- which suck a lot more than what Firefox does.

Internet Explorer is crippled in so many ways that as web designers we spend more time trying to make it behave than what we do writing normal code for normal browsers. These are not web design problems, they are simple problems that can easily be solved by a programmer in Redmond - however, after a decade, most of these buga still exist in IE7 and IE8 - and none of them have been solved in IE6.

We should not have to waste so much energy making up for Washington programmers' inadequacies - and in fact, if we do it by choice, then we are foolish for doing so as it only encourages others to use such a bad browser.

From my experience it's just the opposite. Most of the code I write does not work properly in Firefox but it works as expected in IE. Firefox is horrible if you are trying to secure and lockdown a site. For instance, I am creating an online test taking site using javascript/php/mysql that uses javascript to disallow certain things to thwart cheating but using Firefox renders most of this inneffective. I have no choice but to disable Firefox completely using the above code as well as a group policy hash block in active directory.

Does anyone know of any other ways to effectively block Firefox and plugins such as the one mentioned?

"Does anyone know of any other ways to effectively block Firefox and plugins such as the one mentioned?"

Yea, program using W3C standards instead of using IExplore specifi Javascript. If you think it's FF that is broken:

Even the built-in KDE browser (equivalent of the Internet Explorer) score 6 times in the Javascript compliance.
