Stuck between a rock and a… well you know

Please prepare yourself. I’m about to say something I thought I would never say…

I’m starting to prefer Firefox. Now, don’t jump the gun. I still hate Firefox. I still hate the people that talk about Firefox as if it were their first born child. I still wish Firefox was a pre-beta version flloating around for hardcore super geeks. But at work I’ve been doing a LOT of Javascript and AJAX programming and IE has memory leaks, poor support for decent Javascript. So I’m a bit stuffed because I hate Firefox and I hate IE. I hate Firefox more however. But the main piece of Javascript we have (which we purchased I might add), works fine in IE but not in Firefox. But in IE it has a memory leak (which isn’t really working fine I guess), however in Firefox it gets rendered but you can’t actually SEE it on the screen anywhere.

I’m sick of IE choosing to use different function names for things that do the same thing, or returning different values for the same function than a different browser doing the same thing. I’m sick of having to use Javascript to adjust my CSS depending on which browser you have, and I’m MOST sick of Firefox not having .NET support (we have some embedded applications which I’ve had to re-write with AJAX from the ground up simply because there’s no .NET for Firefox). Although that’s not really Firefox’s fault. But it is. But oh I don’t know. I still hate them both.
