A new conspiracy?

Is it me or less and less proper websites support Firefox nowaday? For instance, Morgan Stanley, one of their customers site is only supported in IE, if you use Firefox, you're pretty much SOL.

I talked to their techs and they even told me that it's only supported in IE. Is this Bill's new plan to dominate the world? again...

Just a thought.
 
It's because companies don't want to allocate programming resources to supporting a program that's not as widely used. If there was more demand for it, they'd step up.
 
IE has been around for a LONG time and most websites are coded for IE, not Firefox. I would imagine that some websites (Morgan Stanley for example) was coded for IE, and recoding the entire site to support firefox would be costly and time-consuming. Also, I would be willing to bet that just almost their entire client base uses IE, and they really don't have the deisre to go change the site for a few Firefox users.Hardly a conspiracy.
 
The real concern here is not the age of IE, which originated on the same code netscape, mozilla, and firefox evolved from - mosaic. It's that the sites do not adhere to internet standards that is the issue, and instead use proprietary MS features(i.e.Active X). The fact is Firefox is much older than IE.
