no offense, but without even going into that link, i can already suspect it would be a biased source. as mentioned before, microsoft could basically give a **** about the w3 standards, never have. I'd assume the users of a site called "w3schools" do actually care about the w3 standards, so they're going to be obviously leaning toward the standards compliant browser 8)
and for the record, the people bashing programmers whose code/websites might not work properly in firefox, keep in mind a lot of the development of these sites long predate firefox itself. And it really hasn't been a competitive browser on the radar since even more recently. Yeah you can check code against w3 standards, but realistically every browser is going to have it's nuances. The standards are only standards, they aren't specific on graphical presentation and implementations.
