Firefox question

TheMercenary · 03-31-2007, 11:24 AM

I am interested in switching to FireFox. My fear is that it is going to not be compatable with XP or some of my other programs. Is this unfounded? What programs, specifically, will not work with FF? What are the limitations of using it over IE?

Some pages do not render as you would expect under FF compared to IE, thanks to IE's broken HTML and CSS rendering. (developers had to code around these bugs)

More fun: they might still render "correctly" under IE6, but the bugs were fixed in IE7, forcing developers to correct their code. My company actively blocks IE7 because of this and still has plenty of catching up to do.
