Web sites that don't work well with Firefox?

No. Designers should adheer to the standards and not write such crappy code.

Then Microsoft should become compliant to the W3C standards and not try to dictate the face of the internet just because they have a large browser market share.

that's true, but what benefit would they have from it? Then they would actually have to write a decent web-browser, because more people would start to switch.

note that flash meny is messed up.
I am sure there are much more.. Designers should optimize them per mozilla too.
I loaded the page in IE and in Firefox side by side, and see no difference. I have had no pages thta don't work with Firefox. Thta was a problem I had with Opera - some pages wouldn't load, so I always needed to keep IE ready to use for those pages. That may be fixed now - they were always blaming it on "compliance", and that may be very true, but it was still very annoying. I have not had that experience with Firefox.
 
Maybe you're using different resolution than I am. At 1280x1024 there is black space bellow menu in flash.

OK, I missed that before. Thanks for explaining. I'll believe other people that it is written incorrectly, I really don't know.
 
Yes Microsoft really need to get IE up-to-date with standards. IE can't handle transparent .png files correctly, while Firefox can. This persons certainly knows about that. The only reason he found out how to get around that was because the majority of people use IE.

Course, I'm sure there's others, but that's the only one I've heard of someone encountering.

And if a website is well written, it would look the same in as many browsers as possible.
 
I have noticed quite a bit of word wrapping problems and table formats aren't the same when I use Firefox. One obvious site is www.myspace.com I'm sure its because MS doesn't comply 100% with W3C standards. Marketshare plays a big part in what standards are for just about everything. There is a standard for html tags but web page layout is pretty non standard and often depends on a lot of non-standard tricks and techniques. HTML was pieced together beyond its intended uses and capabilities much in part by W3C thats why you have XML. So saying a page wasn't written correctly because it was designed for a over 90% of users instead of 5% who adopt a different standard has mainly symbolic non-practical intentions. A well designed site that doesn't show up in IE is not practical. Firefox does a good enough job overall for me to us it most of the time so I don't find this to be much of a problem.
