You're right, I forgot about AciveX. That makes a lot of sense.

What compatibility issues? We're talking about HTML code for
rendering web pages which any browser is capable of. Most
corporations still use XP Pro and Firefox is highly compatible with
that OS. I don't have any problem with online banking from any
version of Firefox and two different banks for 5-6 years now. There
are some web sites that support IE exclusively and don't work
properly on other browsers. That's the only time I ever use IE8 and I
don't care for it's UI or politics. Opera is fine and I will install
it from time to time when a new version comes out but without the
useful Add-ons I will never switch from Firefox. I guess we agree
that most businesses use IE.
There are a lot of web apps that will only work with IE due to ActiveX
requirements, HTML coding issues, etc. Stupid, yes, but take a look
at our economy and you can see that stupidity is well ingrained in the
business world.
