423362 - Mozilla.org should ask CNN.com to support all Gecko-based browsers.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 315701

Description

Mozilla.org should ask CNN.com to support all Gecko-based browsers.

(this is also mentioned at Bug 315701 Comment #12 
 but that bug was for an old CNN viewer)

As of 2008.03.16, 
I receive attached screen when I visit http://www.cnn.com/video/ 

If I switch UA using UserAgent Switcher to"Netscape 4.8" it works
userAgent string: Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 6.0; U)

as per following code I feel this is another case of bug 334967 

http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/xmp/xmp_util.js
functions "searchString" and "searchVersion"
object "dataBrowser"

http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/xmp/xmp_playerapi.js
functions "getSupportedPlatformBrowser"

This is definitely a dupe of bug 315701 as currently reported.
