I mainly write business web applications that only have to be compatible with IE (yes I can be very lazy). IE offers a lot of functionality if you don't need to ensure compatability with the likes of NS, etc. I remember testing Mozilla once and found it able to run code compatible for IE with little or no change. How is Firefox? Is it the same?
Catch my drift?
Better to go the other way. Firefox and Mozilla use gecko as the rendering engine (I think thats the right term). Anyway the core of Firefox and Moz are the same. gecko is much more strict than IE, so if you use something that is IE specific and not valid w3 html/js/etc, then it will more than likely fail in Firefox. However, anything you develop for Firefox will be 99% likely to be just fine in IE and more than likely cross platform compatible as well as cross browser compatible.
Russ - you asked what Firefox is : http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox
You can get a nightly build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
There is a bunch of installers in there, including mac, linux and bizarrely cygwin. The windows exe installer works very for me on XP.
