The Nokia Music Store is now available in France, with a pricing of 1 euro per song, 10 euros per album, or 10 euros a month for unlimited access to tracks through a PC. As with the other NMSes, tracks can be bought onto a PC and sideloaded or bought directly to your phone if you have an N81, N82 or N95 8GB.

"Mozilla Firefox n'est pas compatible avec Nokia Music" i.e. Mozilla Firefox is not compatible with Nokia Music
I *thought* that this IE-only limitation was announced at Nokia Play as a short term issue, perhaps not.
Yes, I know I'm not the target audience for malware and bland major-label music artists, but still, I'm underwhelmed.
Comes with Music? My E61 did. It's all paid-for or free, and none of it's from Sony-BMG et al 😊

You're not the only one, this lack of Firefox support is just silly. They're browsers for heaven's sake, not operating systems. It's not that difficult to provide support for two or more browsers on a single website.
And like I keep saying, on the Finnish Nokia Music Store they're turning away most of their potential customers by not supporting Firefox.
Hopefully Nokia's just doing a "one step at a time" thing, seeing how the site performs on IE before expanding it to Firefox.
The irony is that Nokia themselves have actually done quite a lot to develop and promote alternatives to IE, with their S60 smartphone browser (which is related to Safari) and their MicroB internet tablet browser (which is related to Firefox).
Get over it guys. IE is not THAT evil.
Many people were complaining about the missing compatibility of Nokia Music Shop and Firefox.
The storefront, payment, transaction everything is compatible with Firefox, however due to the company decided to limit customer complaints it limited the access to IE.
Why?
Because of the DRM implemented. License delivery is only seamless with IE:
*license pre-delivery is only possible with Windows Media Palyer and IE
*automatic Windows Media Player authentication from browser session is only possible with IE (without the need of re-authentication in the Media Player)
With other browsers these two issues have to be solved, otherwise the customer care load would be higher.
