You firefox and other browser users are losing touch with reality I think... If I'm opening a buissness or making a cool website am I going to do which of the following?

A. Make it display properly in IE which 95% of the internet uses?
B. Make it display properly in like 50 different tiny browsers which total make up 5% of the internet users?

I think I would go with A. If you go with B. Well, You've lost touch with reality as I said.


why should my intelagent customers suffer with the website not looking properly just because of the stupid customers?

Even IF all intelligent users used other browsers, you'd be mighty stupid to go after 5% of a market when 95% are left out in the cold along with their cash.

If you were smart you could make it so it looks good on IE, but still looks good on Mozilla.

No. Seriously. No.

The only reasons things sometimes don't display correctly in Firefox is because of sloppy coding. Make your site compatible with the W3C standards and all browsers can read them fine. Your options then boil down to:

A: make site compatible with 95% of your customers' browsers
B: make site compatible with 100% of your customers' browsers

The answer to all IE problems...

http://www.avantbrowser.com/

Basically, it's a shell for IE, giving it a lot of cool features. It has certainly proven to be much better than regular IE for me and my brother.
