Everytime I use Firefox on this site certain features which work in Internet Explorer and early version of FF (3.5.4) no longer work. The site is Cognos Web Explorer site. The deveoper says that other users and he have noted this issue and place the fault on Firefox. They no longer reccommend your browser.

I don't see any specific browser recommendations on that website, but without login credentials I can't see all that you can see perhaps. The developer can blame Firefox if he wants to, but IMO, that web page isn't even a legitimate web page.

It lacks three important pieces of information that modern web browsers use to determine how the author wants the page to be displayed. Doctype, Character Encoding, and Parse Mode - which forces web browsers into the Quirks Mode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_Mode

Valid web pages stand a much better chance of being displayed properly in all browsers. The days of IE creating their own standards for the internet ended 5 years ago.
