there are many websites that just design and test just for IE, some
possibly for IE & Safari and if not designed and tested with FF too, can
produce some unpredictable results. I don't blame all weirdness on FF
just because it's FF.

Then I have found that the Adobe plugins are somewhat problematic on FF
but they are getting better. The AdobeReader plugin on FF has long been
a nightmare and I typically install AdobeReader and remove the FF plugin
so PDF files are downloaded instead of opened directly in a FF
window/tab.

That said, if you do a survey for APS, it strikes me as fate.
