Bad Sonos, No Biscuit

I was just trying to check out Sonos’ website, who do some new-fangled digital audio server type thing, but what do I get in my browser (Firefox 0.8) but this:

We know it’s crazy trying to keep up with all the latest versions-so we’ve made the process incredibly easy, painless and free! When you’re done downloading, you’ll be able to see our site-and every other site-in all of its glory.

The HTML behind this claims to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and appears to recognise every browser except Firefox. Haven’t they read Zeldman’s Designing With Web Standards?

I get the same, what a bunch of morons.
My platform (Linux) was described as "Unknown" too, how mysterious.

Hi,

We’re sorry for the problems customers experienced before 6/9. Our browser detection script was malfunctioning and incorrectly reporting this error.

This has now been fixed. Please feel free to visit our web site or contact us @ 800 680 2345.

Many thanks, Chris
