702138 - Picasa Web Albums displays "not fully supported" browser warning on Firefox >= 10

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

If I load https://picasaweb.google.com/home (when logged in to google) in Beta (which is version 9 right now), it looks fine.  But if I load it in Aurora (which is version 10), it displays a red box at the top of the page:

    You are using a browser that is not fully supported. Some features may not work
    too well, but you are welcome to have a look around.

This seems likely to be the result of bad version sniffing on Picasa's end.  We should try to get them to fix it.

} else if (ua('gecko')) {
m = u.match(/rv:(\d)\.(\d)/)
return Number(m[1]) >= 2 || (Number(m[1]) == 1 && Number(m[2] >= 8));
}

Good job, guys.  \d+ would be the minimal fix.

Have we reached out to Google about this yet?

Kyle, among the numerous mail you sent to Google, did you told them about picasa?

(I still see the banner)

I looks fixed to me, but the site is different. Could somebody confirm this before closing the bug (Resolved Fixed)?

Yes, looks like it was fixed within the past 2 days.
