I'm guessing they don't want to test on any other browsers, so it's easier just to say that those aren't supported. Most likely it works on others, you just need to spoof the agent.
This is definitely the case, but I wonder why companies don't add a button, such as "Access website without support", that would get you to the site while clearly telling you that any technical problems (of which, in 99% of cases, there will be none, since all of this seems like supporting Google internet dominance) will be ignored by support.
Sir, this is the internet. Morons will still complain about broken things in public forums even if you make them click through multiple dialogue boxes and popups with warnings in flashing text.
Fair enough. But again, I seriously doubt that Duolingo uses something not supported in Firefox..
