185463 - adobe.com - Adobe Store Download Manager allegedly not compatible with Mozilla-based Netscape version on Mac

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen) (on vacation)]

Steps to reproduce:
1) see http://www.adobe.com/store/general/download_info.jhtml

Actual results:
The page claims the "Download Manager" which is required when purchasing
downloadable items from Adobe does not support Netscape 6 and 7 on Mac, which
presumably means they don't support Mozilla, either.

Expected results:
Expected to be able to purchase downloadable items from Adobe using Gecko-based
browsers on Mac OS X and the old Mac OS.

On the download page
<http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=4&platform=Macintosh>,
if one clicks on a product link one just gets details and no way of downloading.
In Internet Explorer, a page opens with a license agreement and an 'accept'
button. If one clicks this, one can start downloading. The same is undoubtedly
true of other downloads.
