Yes, They Are!

Locksley: Websites are not made to interface with IE. HTML is a standard, not controlled by MS but by W3C. The layout problem is because of Firefox, so save your energy...

Quote from a Journal from University of California-Berkley Lab on Science Direct, the 1st paragraph: Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) is currently by far the most widely used Web browser. Its dominance is all likelihood originally largely due to its being built into Windows systems, which in and of themselves have a disproportionate share of the operating system market. But the dominance of IE is also due to a vicious cycle. As IE gained in market share, Web sites were virtually forced to interface with IE; those that did not face the risk of extinction. Today there are many Web sites that interface only with IE or that interface better with IE than other browsers such as Mozilla, Netscape, and Opera, something that now continually gives IE the proverbial upper hand in browser competition.

I know HTML is standard, I just want to tinker with it to make it look nicer on Firefox. :)

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
