Well, my blog, which primarily gets its traffic from people looking up information about Canadian passports and renewing them (presumably a valid non-technical cross-section of society) has ~30% firefox and ~6% Safari.

Just some data for thought

Here here.. the only reason I even have IE on my PC is to run windows and office updates and pay my FRIGGIN Rogers wireless bill and manage my BB. If any web people at Rogers are reading this – whomever is NOT allowing you to make your site FF (and Safari) friendly should have their heads slammed in their desk. I know it is not the web teams fault, as you probably all use FF – so someone in management needs to be fired immediately for not making this a huge priority.

There is a huge opportunity to actually design a FF add-on that can manage your account, so the thinking on this decision is so backward it astounds me.

Hey Concerned Reader,

he pays for the hosting of this blog, the domain name of this blog AND the bandwidth you just used to view the blog and respond to it. He CAN certainly use it to rant and rave if he so chooses about whatever he wants. It's a blog!!!

This is his blog. Besides, i don't see this as ranting.

Firefox + Safari accounts for at least 25% of all internet users. Pissing off 25% of your customers with a malfunction website is not a way to run a business. The least they can do is to warning firefox/safari users to switch browsers.

Bell.ca is just as horrible. They shouldn't overlook a clean website. A no-brainer with high ROI.

Bell Canada is also officially compatible with just internet explorer

That's b/c your audience is full of firefox users, and the normal audience is 90% the other way. Don't crowd this blog with your personal rants.

Has issues with Safari as well. You'd think they want their website to work on the iPhone, no?

I shall agree, their website has so much issues with mozilla-based web browser
