Using recent trunk builds of Mozilla on WinNT, Linux, and Mac9.1:

Reported by rakeshmishra@netscape.com: go to http://www.suzukicycles.com/
and click on the "Finances" link at this site, which sends you to the URL

  http://www.suzukicycles.com/finance.htm, which redirects you to
  https://secure.suzuki.com/finance/finance2.htm, which redirects Mozilla to
  https://secure.suzuki.com/finance/oldbrowser.htm, which displays this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry

You appear to be running:
Netscape, version: 5.0 (Windows; en-US).
-[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020220]-

The finance subsytem requires a browser supporting at least version 1.1 of 
JavaScript, but explorer 3 uses javascript 1.0.

Please try using at least version 4 of Internet Explorer, or version 3
of Netscape.

Netscape Versions 5.0, 6.0, and 6.2 also have compatibility issues.

WHY? BECAUSE OF THIS BROWSER-SNIFFING AND EXCLUSION IN finance2.htm: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html name="mytop">
<!-- USE: top-level for all finance functions -->
<head>

<title>Suzuki Motorcycle &amp; ATV Financing</title>

if ( parseInt(navigator.appVersion) <= 3
	&& navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
	window.location.replace("oldbrowser.htm");
}
if ( parseInt(navigator.appVersion) <= 2 && navigator.appName == "Netscape")
{
	window.location.replace("oldbrowser.htm");
}
if ( parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 5 && navigator.appName == "Netscape")
{
	window.location.replace("oldbrowser.htm"); <<<<< WE FALL INTO THIS CASE
