10 Percent of UK Sites Incompatible with Firefox

Bimo_Dude writes "The BBC News is reporting that ten percent of UK websites alienate Firefox users. From the article: 'While most people still use Microsoft's browser, Firefox is slowly making inroads. Its share of the browser market grew to 8% in May, up from 5.59% at the beginning of the year, according to US-based analysts NetApplications. Microsoft IE's share of the market dropped to 87.23% in May, compared to 90.31% in January.'"

ACID test

I'm a die hard firefox user, but firefox doesnt even pass the acid test. Don't complain that "firefox is being alienated" when it doesnt even pass rudimentary web tests

Re:IE only sites

[ajs318]

I develop sites to work in Firefox. Frankly, I don't give a flying toss if they run in IE or not. Anyone can run Firefox. Not everyone can run IE.

I believe it is morally very dodgy indeed to insist for someone to run a piece of closed-source software.
