u2.com does work in IE (5.0) so Netscape 4 JavaScript can't be the problem.
Actually what happens is that they do document.layers => NS4, document.all =>
IE4 and disregard any browser that doesn't claim to have one or the other.

Since the "IE4" code path is relatively mundane stuff (document write, IFRAMEs
etc.) it would probably be sufficient to use that existing code for Mozilla.
I see lots of nn4/ie4 foo, dynapi 1, MMDW 3 stuff on these pages but no adobe go

u2.com now has a completely different design (which seems to work fine with
Mozilla). The contents described in this bug are gone. Marking FIXED.
