Maybe I'm hangin' out in the wrong neighborhoods, but I seem to increasingly encounter sites that aren't Firefox friendly. Today at the grocery store I "earned" five song downloads from Sony Connect. Logged on and was told it only accommodates IE 5.5 or above. And I used to be able to do on-line banking, but the bank "upgraded" its system and now I have to use IE.
Oh, well.

Use the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox. Most of the time, you can just fake the site to think you're running IE, and everything works fine. Ignorant web developers are most to blame.

The reason Firefox has been downloaded 75 million times:
Every time they find a security update you have to download the whole program.
There are actually 100 users who have updated 750,000 times each. I know, I downloaded it again on all 5 of my computers last night. That's 5 more downloads!
