Firefox goodness makes unexpected badness

[mikeymike]

Did you read the system requirements of Firefox before installing it?

I'm fairly sure the only time I come across a site that is either IE only (or virtually so, totally borked in Firefox/other) is when someone posts on mozillazine about it :-)

Like for example recently a website, englishtown.com, blocks everything but IE on win32 (also blocks IE Mac).  Nice.

If it's this site you're talking about, works fine here:

www.national-lottery.co.uk

Firefox, 22nd May build, win32.

(recent Firefox builds are a bit iffy though, I'd wait for the 0.9 stable release line to arrive rather than try a recent build if I were you)

Something that really surprised me recently was that the same date build of Firefox loads faster on Linux on my machine than on Windows.  Less than a few seconds generally.  On Windows I have a ramdisk set up so it's less than a second cold start.
