Nokia Music Recommenders: Not FireFox compatible

I saw this post over at All About Symbian:
Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s Music Recommenders scheme, launched a couple of months ago, seems to be getting into its stride, with the first actual podcast by the ‘godfather’ of the scheme, David Bowie. RSS-ready, too….
"The Music Recommenders’ ‘godfather’ picks highlights from the site"
Went to click the link to check out the actual podcast, and I get hit with the "You need IE6 to run this site" warning from hell. What is Nokia’s problem?!
I guess 38.4% of Finland can’t access this site too!
According to the French market research company XiTi, Firefox Internet browser has a market share of 38.4% in Finland. This is the largest market share Firefox has in any country. In Slovenia, Firefox’s market share is 35.6%, and in Germany 30.27%.
In January 2006, Mozilla’s Firefox’s market share had risen to over one fifth in Europe. In September 2005, Firefox had a market share of 14%. The number of Firefox browsers is the largest in Germany, followed by Australia and the US.
I use MusicRecommenders with Firefox all the time. There is a plugin that you can get that will open the link in an IE tab on FFX.
A plug-in is now available from http://www.mozdev.org which will allow you to access our website from within Firefox; without this plug-in the site would only be viewable in Internet Explorer. Please use the following instructions in order to install the Internet Explorer tab in Firefox and allow access to our site:
1. Open the following address in your Firefox browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/
2. Click on the “Install Now” link
3. Once the plug-in has downloaded click on the “Install Now” link in the pop-up installation window
4. The plug-in will install, and you will the have to close all of your Firefox windows
5. Open Firefox again, and access “Tools” -> “IE Tab Options”
6. Type the following address into the URL box, and click “Add”: *.od2.com
7. Type the following address into the URL box, and click “Add”: *.musicrecommenders.com/*
8. Click “Ok”. You should then be able to access our shop using Firefox.
Please note: the Firefox IE Tab is 3rd party software, therefore OD2/Nokia Music, the company behind this website, cannot take any liability or guarantees for the use and installation of this software. Should you have any further questions or need more information, please access the developers’ official website at http://ietab.mozdev.org/
not compatible out of the box = NEIN!
It must be some sort of agreement with ms given the fact that msn will stream the nokia new years party…ughh ugly…
Ah didn’t think of it from that angle, maybe you’re right!
