Homepage Messed in Mozilla

Hey D8Cam,

Just thought I'd let you know that the bar about san andreas on the site buggers up the layout in Mozilla Firebird.

Yes, I am aware of this. I looked at the data for my site and saw that less than 1% of the people that come to this website use Mozilla. Still, I searched for a way to fix the problem. I asked one of my Gamespy contacts and he said not to worry about it, considering I will be getting a new design soon anyway

The only problem arising from it not working in Mozilla is that it means it's not coded properly and so cross platform viewing can be affected. Especially in the future when we've got the web on fridges etc.

Your problem is pretty tame compared to most though, browsing the web with Mozilla I've found countless corporate sites that don't even function properly with Mozilla, including my local banks online banking (Natwest)! They tell you to use Internet Explorer or Netscape and ignore the browser which is much more secure than IE

I am not really familiar with Mozilla. How is it more secure?

Yeh there is no activex or VBScript which are what produce alot of floors in Internet Explorer.

It also isn't integrated into the Operating System, so any problems in the browser dont affect the OS and visa versa.

Finally, any security problems that are found will be quickly dealt with overnight if not sooner because of its open source coding community. Theres also the downer of IE that it doesn't parse HTML properly

I'd recommend Firebird:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/

(look for Download Now on the left. Firebird is the mozilla rendering engine, but in a smaller, more IE like package).
