One the the biggest frustration to Firefox users in China is the many websites that are still coded specifically for Internet Explorer (IE).
Often there is no indication to the requirement. The transaction will just work until the very last step and simply failed. All one may get is a blank screen or an unrelated error message.
This is not just for small website but major websites, banks, government sites. We can forgive small sites for not spending extra effort on browser compatibility. But it is simply bigotry for the big well funded sites.
Back home in Singapore, Citibank website had been supporting Netscape and Firefox for a long time. So do all the banks (DBS, UOB, OCBC) that I use and government sites like CPF.
Oh well, end of rant, have to fire up IE and redo the transaction again.
