Firefox

I hate running into sites that won't work unless you use IE, so it's nice to finally see some sites designed to work with Firefox.

Our local newspaper here, the Star-Tribune, just rolled out their new website design. Interestingly, the site appears to be opitmized for Firefox, as the top navigation buttons have drop down menus that appear in Firefox, but not it IE. The doctype they use is HTML 4.01 Strict, and using my Html Tidy firefox extension, it appears that their html is rather clean. As I said, they just rolled the site out this morning, and the site was actually down for a few hours it seemed (at least for me, not sure what my deal is lately). Also, if you move your mouse over the top navigation buttons in Firefox, you can see three advertisement windows flash on the screen quickly, if you move your mouse quickly over the buttons, you can see who the ad is for :-) The flashing ad thing is definitely a javascript bug, I'm not sure where those ads are supposed to show up, but its rather annoying right now.
