Walmart Video Download Update: IE ONLY

Now, you can't even view the mess of the Walmart Video Download site if you are using Firefox or ANY Apple computer. From this CenterNetworks's article:

Last week, Walmart launched their online video download service. Immediately there were posts that the service did not work with the Firefox or Safari browsers. There was a collective, "WTF" when this happened as this is 2007, not 1997. Back then it was "accepted" for applications to work with only a specific browser or platform. Now... Walmart has turned off the ability to get into the application at all by Firefox, Safari or any other browser it does not like...

From walmart customer service:
"Walmart video download service does not support the Macintosh Operating Systems as the video that you download requires Digital Rights Management 10 (DRM 10) software, which is not compatible with the Macintosh operating system."
