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.'"

    the UK is a tiny little island inhabited by hobbits, leprechauns and the Oasis brothers.

    Strictly, the leprechauns come from Ireland. You're maybe thinking of Robin Cook, former Foreign Secretary?

    Hell, 10% of websites don't work in IE either (or any browser) just because whoever made the page didn't know what in the hell they were doing.
