Attempting to enter www.passalong.com gets one redirected to
http://www.passalong.com/Music/browser.htm and displays message " The website
you are trying to access can only be viewed using Internet Explorer Version 5.5
or above" (with a link to download IE). No other navigation is possible with FF.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter www.passalong.com in the Firefox navigate bar
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Navigation begins but redirects to http://www.passalong.com/Music/browser.htm,
with the message displayed above (in "Details"). No other navigation on the site
is permitted, not even by manually inserting a site URL (by copy/paste) as seen
in IE.
Expected Results:
I would expect to be able to navigate the site as in IE.
(The problem is with the site, not with FF, as far as I can tell.)
N/A (I did a search to see if this has been reported before and couldn't find
anything. Sorry if I'm repeating a known problem.)

It's been redesigned somewhat so that Firefox works now, but other browsers get redirected to
http://www.passalong.com/Music/browser.aspx
