The low-cost Expedia Special Fares and Expedia Bargain Fares are not displayed
when searching for a flight using Mozilla.  They are displayed when using IE or
Netscape 4.

I'm prepared to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here, and put this down
to incompetence, rather than malice, particularly since it works properly using
Netscape 4, and www.expedia.com DOES NOT exhibit this problem.

Using Mozilla appears to give a slightly different (presumnably 'light') version
of the sight compared to the version displayed by IE; it may simply be a bug in
the database query performed by the light version of the site.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit http://www.expedia.co.uk
2.Search for a flight.  My test query is to search for a flight from LHR to IAD
a couple of weeks in the future, with a duration of stay of a couple of weeks,
with departure and arrival times around midday.


Actual Results:  
Only standard fare flights are displayed; Expedia Special Fares and Expedia
Bargain Fares are not displayed.

Expected Results:  
All fares should be displayed, including Expedia Special Fares and Expedia
Bargain Fares.
