Re: Love FF
I have to agree. I'm having problems with web pages that rendered just fine in FF2. |

»https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
Mozilla made a conscious decision to NOT continue to work with web sites that don't meet web page design standards. IE7 still includes some workarounds for non-complying web code. When IE8 comes out, IE will also be more stringent about displaying non-compliant code correctly.
In the meantime the IE Tab addon works very well for me on those few sites with problems - most of which are Microsoft sites.

| oh, so Mozilla has taken on the task of single handedly enforcing web standards? give me a fucking break. that right there is the definition of elitist.
listen, trying to take the high road because your browser share is weak hasn't worked for 10 years. Netscape started that bullshit mantra a long time ago. Last time I looked, nothing has changed. |

Try not wanting to waste time writing workarounds for every broken page on the Internet. Make it the site author's problem. After all, if they're not writing to standards, you can't even know what they mean, so anything you do could very well be wrong.
With the market share Firefox has, any broken commercial sites will be fixed.
You obviously have no clue what Netscape was doing before they abandoned the project entirely. Netscape 4 was an utter piece of shit. It was only by a miracle that IE was an even worse piece of shit, and that changed with IE4, which sucked, but not that bad. Of course, Netscape 4 (but not 4.5) could be excused, for the standards were weak to nonexistent. What couldn't be excused was the bloated mess of spaghetti code.

Using the IE tab option for a website built specifically for Mozilla browsers doesn't seem like it is going to help.
I find it amazing that a website interface for Mozilla/Firefox works fine with FF2 but breaks with FF3. |

I opened my.live.com with the IE Tab addon and it looks identical to what it looks like in IE7.

| That's all fine and dandy, but I'm not talking about live.com, a Microsoft site. I'm talking about a website (webmail from an ISP to be more specific) that was built and coded specifically for users with a Mozilla/FF browser. It works fine in FF2, but chokes in FF3. That just makes no sense.
And what does it say about Mozilla if we are forced to use an "IE" add-on to make web pages render correctly? |

If it was written to standards, it would work, unless there's some bug, in which case you should file a bug report.

Obviously you don't care about older sites that haven't been maintained for some time but are still useful to some of us...
