How to Redirect Pages on Firefox

Some webmasters prefer to redirect users to Web pages optimized for certain browsers. You use the JavaScript language to redirect a Firefox browser to a specific page on your website. You must specify a Web page to which you want to redirect. The Web page can be an internal page in your domain or a page on another website.

Instructions

1. Right-click the HTML page you want to edit. Click "Open With" in the popup menu, then double-click the editor you use to create and edit your Web pages.

2. Type the following JavaScript tags anywhere in the body of the file:

   <script type="text/javascript"> </script>

   All JavaScript code must be inserted within these two script tags.

3. Type the following code to detect the browser type:

   var browser = navigator.userAgent;

   If the user opening your Web page is using Firefox, the "browser" variable contains the term "Firefox," so you can redirect according to browser.

4. Type the following code to redirect the user:

   if (browser == 'Firefox')

   {

   window.location = "newpage.html"

   }

   Replace "newpage.html" with the location where you want to redirect the Firefox user.
