simply demanding live telephone support should do it; not reason to get weird on them. "I'm sorry but your web site does not work with my standard Firefox web browser, so I have to telephone you. How is your day going? Yes, I had a nice time on hold, the music was pleasant."
Ah, yes- your method does have a certain sensibility of personal touch. Yet the goal is -or should be at least- to get a minimum result of having all websites seamlessly work with Open Source browsers. And each communication the world not yet awake about Open Source has with one of "us" is potentially what WE are ALL judged by... So we are all literally potentially ambassadors for or against the cause.
