Make a web designer’s life easier: Download Firefox!

18 June, 2008 (19:30) | web design | By: Raymond

Firefox 3 is now available and Mozilla is reporting that it has been downloaded 8 million times already! Do your local web designer a favor and ditch Internet Destroyer…err Explorer and download Firefox now.

I can’t count the number of times that I’ve worked late into the night fixing a problem with a website because of bugs in different versions of Internet Explorer. For a site that I am currently developing, the client wanted a simple calendar to share upcoming events with visitors. I decided to embed Google Calendar rather than reinvent the wheel and create a new application. After installation, it looks perfect in Firefox (and, surprisingly, even IE6). But, of course, it looks absolutely awful in IE7. Perhaps another late night is ahead of me :(

EDIT:  OK, it turns out that it works in IE7 after all.  I was running IE8 instead of emulating IE7. But whatever, my point still stands. :)
