I can't say too many positive things about Wal-Mart, but they do seem to have 
mastered the work of selling things to high volumes of people at low prices.

Choosing to prohibit non-Internet Explorer users from purchasing from them 
online is only something they would do if they had good reasons to do it.

There's not a lot of high price, high quality stuff Wal-Mart but they're never 
going to turn you away if you drive up in a Mercedes or walk-in with a Brooks 
Brothers' suit on.  Your money is good to them and they'll always take it.

In this case, there are probably technical and legal reasons for not doing it.

Don't like it? Well, shop somewhere else.  Wal-Mart is a horrible company and 
you don't need lack of firefox support to believe it.  Find another online 
music store that will sell to you or break down and buy the CD for real.

I would be frustrated if I couldn't access my bank's website with firefox.  
I'm a captive customer at this point and I want them to cooperate with me.  
But I'm not a Wal-Mart customer and I could care less about what their site 
will or won't do.
