Firefox

[Tramspotter]

You do know what Steve your company computer guy would say if you told him that your browser seems slow don't cha?

MOOOVE!!!!!!!!

Firefox rocks and if people would use HTML correctly to its own standards and not bow down before the bloat code bohemoth that is MS when making sites it would be even more apparent.

Perhaps GD could get over his irrational fear of tabbed browsing and bench test them head to head.

that or cop out and get objective third party test results using (bleech) IE to search probably. Pffffffft.

BTW - its not HTML that needs to be coded correctly slick, its things like ASP and ASPX and VB that when used in web browsers, that does not agree with FireFox. That is Mozilla's problem, not the problem of the site designer.

Yes i will agree that there might be a small percentage of HTML code that could throw off firefox, but that is rare, the problem lies with their ability to display MS designed code in ASP or ASPX.

Not really. It's the problem of Microsoft, as usual, ignoring the concept of standards and encouraging people to code using MS-specific techniques. It shouldn't matter which browser you're using if the coding is done to standards. But once you start introducing proprietary stuff in, it makes compatability an issue. And it shouldn't be Mozilla's job to reverse engineer proprietary MS coding, it should be site designers' job to make their sites compliant with the open standard.

MS designed their code to work idelly with their browser. What is the problem with that? I never heard there were global standards to NEW CODING LANGUAGES that are developed. W3C standards and the rest apply to existing languages, this is a language MS built from scratch. their language, their browser.....

Firefox came after-the-fact as a 3rd party browser, they want their stuff to work on ASPX sites, then they need to figure out how to make aspx work on thier platform.

What people dont realize is that firefox is one of many alternative browsers out there, but it is built on the framework of Mozilla, whereas there are other browsers out there that use the IE engine, and re-design its shell to add things like plug-ins and tabbed browsing, but they dont get the press that FireFox does.
