Those old IE versions were products of a time when Microsoft was intentionally just making shit up, baking it into their browsers, and releasing stuff like Frontpage to produce garbage, browser-favoring markup. That among various other (often illegal) behaviors designed to destroy competition and capture the web for one company.

When everyone finally had the chance to axe IE support, it made all the sense in the world to do that. But that's not the situation with browsers like Firefox.

As for Apple? Any of their web properties that exist for reasons other than selling hardware are just embarrassingly bad. Have been for years... and their problems have nothing to do with Firefox.
