spin off from bug 272792.
the page http://www.tele2.no/privat/nettbutikk/ gives a 

"Sorry, this page is not supported by your browser. Please install a Internet
Explorer from Microsoft version 5.02 or later and make sure that cookies and
Javascript are enabled."

Filing this under Norwegian as it is a page in Norwegian, hosted for a Norwegian
company, but note that the actual mini-site originates in danmark. 

As pointed out by Wladimir in bug 272792 comment 5, when you check the frame
that shows the error message, it is http://www.shop4all.dk/butik.aspx?ID=183.
The site is built upon ASP.NET and really uses lots of ugly IE-only
constructions. It uses server-side browser sniffing and explicitely blocks
browsers with the words "Gecko" or "Opera" in the user-agent string. 

Reproducible: Always

The two sites in question seem to have been replaced by https://shop.tele2.no/, which apparently works without problems in FF3. This bug should probably be closed.

Yes, tele2.no seems to be working properly with Firefox now. As to shop4all.dk, it seems to be dead, none of the four shops listed work. That's WORKSFORME then.
