there are many websites that just design and test just for IE, some
possibly for IE & Safari and if not designed and tested with FF too, can
produce some unpredictable results. I don't blame all weirdness on FF
just because it's FF.

Then I have found that the Adobe plugins are somewhat problematic on FF
but they are getting better. The AdobeReader plugin on FF has long been
a nightmare and I typically install AdobeReader and remove the FF plugin
so PDF files are downloaded instead of opened directly in a FF
window/tab.

That said, if you do a survey for APS, it strikes me as fate.

In fact, I have always thought most of the problems people have with FF have more to do with the many add-ons most people use.  I seldom have more than three and have rarely had any issues other than with sites using microsoft specific extensions.  Interestingly enough, today's email had a reference to:
     http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7307/1.html
which seems to confirm that theory.  I do not mean that other suggestions are wrong, just that one might suspect add-ons first as a source for wierdnesses.
