Now I love the Firefox browser, as do most techies - and that is the problem. Our development team put together a super looking website but never bothered to check the menu system works in IE and it looks terrible. Sadly IE accounts for 70+% of our visitors so I think it is a real problem.

Not to mention that the text wraps horribly on 1024*768 resolution - they designed it in 1600*1200 or something.

I can't be the first person for whom this has happened... </rant>

Thats not a Firefox problem, thats just lazy coding.

a super looking website = bad for customers website. It does not looks professional, even website is great.

I think that's more of a "curse of a crap development team"...

As people have mentioned: Bad coding.

But what you really want to moan about most of all is that there's a good chance the code is accurate, and it's actually Microsoft's Internet Explorer that hasn't translated the code properly!
=============
As others have said it is lazy coding and nothing much to do with FF. It's far too easy for people to work in their favorite browser and not bother to check compatibility.
=============
LOL I had the reverse on my latest attempt, the menu and page alignment worked fine in IE7 and 8 then I tried Firefox.....................a bit late I might add and it looked pants. :D
=============
Thats not IE's fault, that is bad coding as everyone else has said. Code should always be valid and work cross browser.
=============
As has been said, Firefox isn't the issue, your developers are.
It's a completely trivial task to view HTML in a variety of browsers / significant versions as it is being developed. ( and simply a mouse click in Firefox to view different resolutions ).
Any developer with a little accountability knows that leaving this 'till the end will probably cost THEM a lot of time and therefore money to fix.
=============
Tell your development team to add browser testing to their list of important things to do when building a website!
=============
IE is the issue here, BUT you have to do make compromises to get things to work in bloody IE. I have a book called CSS hacks which basically gives you a load of techniques to get CSS looking good in IE6 yet still remaining standards compliant for browsers like Opera and Firefox.
