Securitas discriminates against Firefox users

5 pointsby afedalmost 16 years ago
If you use Firefox you are not allowed to apply for a position on Securitas's web site. Apparently they believe open source users are not trustworthy or reliable. By trying to start the online application, Firefox users are routed to a page stating that Internet Explorer 6 must be used.<p>http://www.securitas.com/us/en/Career/Come-Join-Us/Start-On-line-Application/

Its pretty common for big companies to have internal apps designed exclusively for various versions of IE, because they can control what browsers their employees use, but this is just plain ridiculous!<p>When you design and build a web app for public consumption you need to develop for ALL major browsers or risk losing business. These guys are nuts!
