If you want to compete, it is necessary to support and their pages.

Error: window.attachEvent is not a function

Line: 8

Not a Firefox bug, they are using IE specific code

Comment 4

[Ben Fowler]

The behaviour is by design, that is, per specification. So this is either
a WONTFIX or EVANGELISM.

Speaking for myself, I am not that interested in competing, save for the
truism that rivalry does three fourths of the work of the work. If I am
chasing anything, it is the dream of being able to use the world's best
browser.

There is already a bug on IE specific Javascript.

Page now redirects to 

http://www.microsoft.com/protect/default.mspx

which appears to work fine in Firefox 2 and Camino trunk. FIXED.
