Anyways, I was able to see the "messed-up" site and also when it was inaccessible if you were using a browser other than IE. Has the site been fixed yet? Btw, thanks for dropping by my blog and for the comment. Have a nice day! :) Funny coz I was gonna post about this too but was too lazy.

Wouldn't be surprised if we went to the site and found a completely new version of it waiting for Firefox users. And it appears we're right. Just clicked through to the site and it appears Wal*Mart has followed my advice. Instead of a borked version of the site being fed to Firefox and other unsupported browsers, Wal*Mart degrades gracefully with a message informing the user that their browser is not supported by the service. I hope this serves as a lesson to other big name websites when they launch a new service targeting only one portion of the browsing internet. ~ Teli LOL, I believe so Els.

We appreciate your patience and invite you to return soon." Wonder what kind of important upgrade they're talking about - would a Firefox usable website count as an upgrade then? ;-) 9 February shows this notice on their homepage: “Walmart.com is temporarily unavailable while we make important upgrades to our site.
