Mozilla.org launched a new website design on 31 August. Unlike the new Microsoft website, which suffers from some significant look-and-feel differences depending on which browser you use (see post), Mozilla’s looks exactly the same in any browser.
I visited mozilla.org with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Maxthon. No differences in appearance or functionality. Good work.

Just a note that Maxthon is an IE shell so it uses the IE HTML rendering engine, therefore IE and Maxthon should always display pages the same.

You’re not really serious are you?
– Page margins are dropped in IE 6.0, and the content resizes almost to the borders of the window (while there’s a significant left and right margin in FF 0.9.3)
– Resizing the window in IE 6.0 shows a nasty random 1 pixel border on the right of the site banner.
– Rollover effects on the navigation tabs are not working in IE (still 6.0)
And that’s just the home page…
I understand FF is super trendy among a certain category of people who tend to behave as religious zealots and not question the dogma, but hey, St Thomas was a sensible guy, and he only believed what he would see with his own eyes…
You’re right,Roy, re IE/Maxthon commonality. While the Mozilla site does look identical in both those browsers, I have noticed differences in how pages on some sites look between those two.
St Thomas, yes, I am serious. To my eye, the Mozilla site looks just about identical in all three browsers. Some font size differences, but otherwiese the same. But I might agree with your comments if you take a purist viewpoint.
