That would be a security concern for Firefox developers. At the time I’m using firefox and a link opens in IE, I would trash Firefox ….. A script like you’re talking about would be considered as malware.
Hmm, good point. I didn’t think of that.

I think we all must do some more tests using IE and Mozilla-like browsers and report what we find to better understand the issue.I think that’s a good idea. We should make a list of what works and what doesn’t. I’m sure there are enough people on this board to cover the major combinations of operating systems, browsers, antivirus programs, etc. When we come across something that doesn’t work, we can bring it to the affiliate manager’s attention. And if they can’t (or won’t) fix the problem, at least the list will be here for everyone to see, so people will know what they’re getting into.
Most people probably won’t care if a program doesn’t work on something that only 0.5% of the population uses — for example, Netscape browser combined with Windows 2000 (I’m just making this scenario up). But if something is used by 20% of the population (say it’s Windows XP operating system combined with the Mozilla browser), then I think the tracking software should work with that combination of programs. 20% is significant, and I don’t think I would promote a casino if I knew 20% of my referrals would be lost.
What do you guys think about creating a list?
