Works with Firefox !!

We keep hearing that lot of important sites do not work with Firefox e.g.

1. Rohit Srivastava is Frustrated
2. During the Breakfast with Mozilla event that took place in Pune on February 15th, Arun made a remark that several web developers still develop for IE 6 (which was released around 2000, eight years ago)

While that may have been correct a while ago, I’m sure that things are improving. Since I switched full time to Ubuntu few weeks ago, I had no choice but to use Firefox (considering there is no IE on Linux – Not sure if IE works under Wine) and I am glad to say that I had no issues what so ever. I’m using Firefox 3.0.5, as well as Firefox 3.1Beta 2 on Ubuntu 8.10 (if it matters)

I’m listing the websites that I know work with Firefox, in the hope that this would help more and more people to switch to Firefox.

Sure everyone knows Firefox is (relatively) secure compared to IE. But if folks can’t get their work done, they WILL continue to use IE. So in order to show them that indeed more and more websites work with Firefox without any issues, I started this list.  Obviously, this list is far from complete. But with your support, we can make this better, in the hopes that users do not have the option of not-using Firefox, just because their favorite website doesn’t work with firefox.

If you are not using Firefox yourself, please click on the button on the right to download Firefox right now !!

Please leave comments with URLs that you know work with Firefox.

Calendaring with Thunderbird 3 Beta

This Add-on provides Calendering functionality to Thunderbird, making it (near) complete substitute for MS Outlook. Near complete because there is no MS Exchange integration yet.

Then I found out a way to get this working with the Tunderbird 3 Beta
