I agree in the that FireFox complacency is crucial to a divorce user-base so I am still pursuing adapting my application for FireFox users.
In general I am just pissed off at all the compromises I will have to make. I'm going to have to retard down my program just to make it FireFox compliant (if it will even run at all), and the way FireFox handles style sheets I will properly have to compromise the look I was going for as well.
BTW, FireFox CSS2 complacency was thoroughly testing last night while I was designing the look and feel of the component, your source who clames full CSS2 compliance for FireFox is utter BS.
Microsoft has done some amazing things with their browser, Mozilla, and Opera needs to remove their huge bureaucratic rod from their browsers ass, and adopt some of these great technologies. Vb-script API, MSXML, ActiveX, and .NET all have open API's and could easily be adopted by a number of browsers with no objection from Microsoft. I'm sure if the new release of FireFox ran vb-script (which could be implemented in as little as 5 minutes, thanks to vb-script activeX compiler API), old Bill would mess his pants with joy. But no FireFox had to follow standards and be with the browser "in" crowd, and as a result their years behind in modern browsing technology.
