[Bug 342341] Re: Jaunty: Firefox does not get along with OWA Premium of an MS Exchange server

[John Vivirito]

the following was stated in the description:

This is more than bad since it does not seem to be possible to run MS
Outlook 2003 under WINE either
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/342326).

One theoretical way out might be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
under WINE but this doesn't seem to work yet either
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/342326).


If this bug has nothing to do with wine why was it brought up at all?
We are unable to provide support for sites that dont allow firefox to be used, like hotmail for example:
cant type an email using firefox (this has beena nd is still an issue for people. This next quote as follows tell me its the site not the browser. MS tends to only allow IE for some sites example Microsoft updates site.

So I tried to simply install the Firefox "User Agent Switcher" plugin
and set Firefox's user agent to "Internet Explorer 7 (Windows Vista)".
Well, Firefox then loads the OWA Premium
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Web_Access#Technology) view which
if it worked would give you a nearby substitute for the MS Outlook 2003
client or the MS Outlook 2007 client. However, if you click anything
there, nothing happens. There is a large error message printed into the
OWA Premium screen which says:


Please explain why you think this is a firefox issue and not (wine, website, plugins)

** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
