LL Submitters: Please check your sites in Mozilla/FireFox!

First, let me state: I am guilty! I figured I knew my HTML and CSS well enough that my sites would be groovy for any browser. How wrong I was.

I now use FireFox almost exclusively (and I am a happier person for it.) If you are building free sites, you should download FireFox or some other recent Mozilla browser - it's not as forgiving of bad code as IE, and your sites can really fall apart if you're not careful.

For those of you who, like me, railed against the totally crappy NetScape 4.x - this is not the same deal. The latest versions are painfully compliant and will show you the many errors of your ways.

By my stats, close to 15% of users are now on FireFox (that's FireFox alone - not including the various other permutations of Mozilla). I'm not willing to throw away that many visitors. Are you?
