why do you want to redirect if someone is using firefox? wouldn't you want to give people the same browsing experience regardless of their browser?

have you tried google?

Try using userAgent instead of appName:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")>-1) {
   location.href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com";[/URL]
}
</script>

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

well i accidentally put firefox, i meant playstation 3
(the code i gave shows "PLAYSTATION 3" as the appName)
so i didnt bother changing firefox, because i knew i could switch it out.

and i need it to only work on ps3 because i can protect music and files so only ps3s can stream them (thus meaning no pirating) (except from hackers of course =p )

also, i couldnt get that code to work no matter how hard i tried >.< it just went to the page and stayed there

So user that have disabled javascript will be able stream and the gamers on PS3 too.

Ignore chrissie1. He's one of the hackers that's allowed to stream your content.
