- deluxndotcom, on 11/09/2007, -10/+304to bad most of these sites actually do work with firefox fine.
- ryanadc, on 10/19/2007, -11/+296Yes, it is 2007--they could make their site a little more readable!
- andrewcsayer, on 10/19/2007, -3/+160I've trained my firefox to leave a little turd in their root directory.
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -4/+135I also find is HILARIOUS that this moron takes a lot of jabs at websites for being straight out of the 90s and yet his homepage looks like ones you would see on Geocities in 1997. Repeating animated background image, lame counter at the bottom, pretty much EVERYTHING on the page. http://toastytech.com/evil/index.html
- mishsquish, on 11/09/2007, -6/+130List of sites that make Internet Explorer sad:
http://* - kaytrio, on 10/22/2007, -3/+73too bad even though both of us know that, this will still probably make it to the homepage somehow...
- Lochie, on 10/19/2007, -2/+67Who the hell embeds midis nowadays?
- cdmarcus, on 10/22/2007, -13/+69Mask Firefox as Internet Explorer ftw.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 - repeater75, on 10/19/2007, -2/+53The same jackasses that require you to "upgrade" to IE 5.0+ or Netscape 4.7+ to view their webpage.
- Goodbyeworld, on 10/16/2007, -16/+64Like the guy above me said, I tried out the first 5 and all of them worked great.
Buried as inaccurate. - whorelock, on 10/18/2007, -8/+45IE makes me sad.
- Bamborzled, on 10/17/2007, -6/+43"Come on people! Its 2007 already, NOT 1997! Get with this century! There is no excuse for these kinds of sites!"
Not using the ul and li elements, not closing your tags properly, and not using h1 and h2 elements? Get with this century! Come on web developers; it's 2007, not 1997! There is no excuse for these kinds of sites! - oesj, on 10/15/2007, -1/+36this is a little like women getting the vote by taping on a false beard to slip into the voting booth - we shouldn't have to do this!
if sites don't care enough about me to 'support' my preferred browser then they can get bent! - purty707, on 10/20/2007, -7/+40site that makes firefox sad: toastytech.com
not to mention ugly as well - madcat033, on 10/20/2007, -7/+40Comedy gold: try going to this site http://www.lifesaving.com.au/surfVision/surfVision ...
It gives you the following message:
We have detected that you are using an old browser that is not compatible with this web site.
To upgrade to the latest Internet Explorer Browser click here.
To upgrade to the latest Netscape Browser Browser click here.
It says my browser is too old, and then it suggests NETSCAPE!?! BAHAHAHAAAA!
Not to mention how it says i should "upgrade" to IE. Sorry, Opera FTW! - zrcochran, on 10/15/2007, -3/+35Netflix Instant watching too...which is too bad.
- Mizzike, on 10/16/2007, -4/+36they forgot digg.com comments pages.
- armbar, on 10/16/2007, -2/+32Yeah, the only downside is when you get IE-only Javascripts some clown made in 1997 that are still being circulated on prestigious sites like Dynamic Drive. Why can't people look at their server logs to see that people use other browsers? It's not really that difficult to make your site cross-browser compatible anyway.
- Theipolicy, on 10/19/2007, -29/+56Mask Opera as Internet Explorer ftw.
- nakile, on 10/15/2007, -1/+28I know. IE seems to have that problem too. I don't get it.
Especially when you go to a Myspace page and get a MIDI of "Stayin' Alive" with 50 Youtube videos playing at once. - Orion682, on 10/19/2007, -1/+26It's called modularity ;)
- codehkr77, on 10/21/2007, -3/+26that link took me to Ron Paul's website...
- Tack122, on 10/15/2007, -0/+21But that's what midi files do...
- ozid, on 10/17/2007, -2/+22half of those sites he listed aren't any better than his.
some look like they haven't been updated since 1997 so what would you expect? - RunnyBabbit, on 10/15/2007, -0/+19Jesus, he even has a MIDI.
- GhostSniper, on 10/16/2007, -1/+20That was a sweet ass-comment.
- Mike89, on 10/21/2007, -2/+19Aw, that site won't load for me in Firefox either :(
- sexybobo, on 10/17/2007, -0/+17I love it opera people always rag on FIrefox saying it is to bloated. then the same people complain that not every thing you could posibly want is built in.
- synik, on 10/16/2007, -1/+17If I open a couple of digg pages with comments in FireFox, it locks up!
Eventually I have to use task manager to kill it off.
Same thing happens at home and at work. I've just given up and started using IE to view digg. Too much crappy javascript I think. - Koldkompress, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14I think she's a successful chat-show host.
- stevedclarke, on 10/16/2007, -0/+14That was a sweet-ass comment.
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -0/+14You could adblock *.mid files
- dpollitt, on 10/20/2007, -2/+15Did anybody else surf that site and see his other page: http://toastytech.com/evil/index.html
Who would want to view that crap in any browser? Learn basic skills then come back and bitch about IE/Firefox. - RunnyBabbit, on 10/15/2007, -2/+15I tried many sites and they worked. Buried as inaccurate.
- Frostman3D, on 10/16/2007, -4/+17Thanks for your input, ass-ninja.
- Bamborzled, on 10/15/2007, -1/+13You do realize that SeaMonkey is just Firefox but with more features? (More accurately it was the original Mozilla suite, and Firefox was sired off it as the "basic" browser)
- KicktheDonkey, on 10/19/2007, -1/+12Why should it be built in?
- DangerCollie, on 10/15/2007, -2/+12I tried the first five or six, they all worked fine. A couple of them wouldn't display until I told NoScript to allow the primary domain, but that's not unusual. Wal-Mart's music download site did give an error, more likely related to the fact they use Microsoft's DRM. Although I did resent that Wal-Mart suggested I "upgrade" my Linux box to Windows. The cheap junk vendor to the planet is going to start preaching quality to me?
- aznhomig, on 10/16/2007, -9/+19"This site is best displayed in Internet Explorer.
To get the latest version of Internet Explorer, which is provided at no charge, click here."
***** off. If you're going to make me switch from Firefox to a ***** browser like Internet Explorer so I can view your ***** site, you can expect one less visitor for the day. Especially if it's a business website with products to sell, well, you've just lost my business.
***** ad crusaders. - amyfamb7, on 10/15/2007, -6/+15I tried 15 of them and only 2 worked.
- armbar, on 10/17/2007, -5/+15Opera has an option to disable sound on webpages. I'd be surprised if Firefox didn't have something similar.
- jakfdsl, on 10/15/2007, -3/+13The digg comments page makes my Firefox :(
Should I stop the script or continue? Well, either way it'll make my Firefox freeze for ~5 seconds. - Haidoken, on 10/15/2007, -4/+13quicktime has taken over all my mids, midis and embedded sound, even when i disabled it
- Haidoken, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9get FoxIt
- Optimaximal, on 10/22/2007, -2/+11Why use a User-Agent switcher when you can just bolt IE into Firefox using IETab?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/141 ... - badassninja, on 10/15/2007, -4/+12I wish there was a huge email list of the web masters of all these sites I could use to give them a ear full.
- mrurc, on 10/15/2007, -1/+9Hence this note in the article:
Please note: I only occasionally update this page so some sites may have been fixed or disappeared since I last updated this list. I have no idea what some of these pages are, they are not sites I personally visit. I found most of these from the Mozilla Reporter, in bugzilla, or by searching Google for stupid stuff like "We only support Internet Explorer".
There is no last updated date so the list could be 3 years old. - cJeremy, on 10/15/2007, -2/+10forgot NETFLIX WATCH NOW... it requires IE... which sucks.
- mmmiiikkkeee, on 10/16/2007, -3/+11IE is not free if your a linux user... i would have to buy windows first to legally install it..
- ers35, on 10/16/2007, -0/+8armbar was being sarcastic.
