Top Bar vs. Browsers

How come the top bar (where User CP, FAQ, etc is) is only properly viewable in some browsers?

vBullentin is only coded for the most used browser. (IE) If an update comes out that changes the code alot it could cause issues. (Firefox 3.6)

Fun. So either I can use IE and get viruses ten times easier, or I can never be able to access my bank.

What are you using? I'm not having issues with Firefox 3.6.

A mixture of Firefox and Google's Chrome. It's only been working about 1/2 of the time when I try to use Firefox to get to my bank.

Yep limitations in the source. Works fine firefox btw had no issues. Only thing is some of the special effects to name/titles don't show right but not a big deal.

I think we'll find more and more web services getting updated to work better with other web browsers, since ie has been steadily losing it's market share. Too many browsers out there and ie is falling behind in features and speed.

Yep^^ The only reason IE was even that big was b/c it came stock with Windows.
