Well, no, not really. Mozilla/Firefox conform to all approved HTML standards. It's MS that first started creating tons of "IE-only" code variants and deviations, which only became considered "standard" because lots of web designers started taking advantage of them, even though they didn't conform to the officially-approved standards.

Remember the days of MS FrontPage? You had to turn off the default "FrontPage extensions" to assure full code compatibility with non-MS browsers (or even older IE versions).

As for me, I've been using Mozilla since version 1.1, and Netscape for years before that. Netscape always had its compatibility issues, but Mozilla works fine with literally 99% of sites - not sure where you're going that makes you see problems, but the only sites that I've yet found that were broken in Mozilla were (and still are) MS's own sites, like microsoft.com and msn.com, which they deliberately set up that way just to be nasty.
