    Which is fine if you are giving something away, but from a sales point is suicide as it shows contempt for your customers.

    I am one of the many who, when I go to a web site for something and cannot get it to work in Firefox, tries another site or just gives up.

    However, if the people going to your web site are not important to you, then it makes sense for you not to waste any time on said web site.

      FF used to be the geek browser, but no longer.

      The website my wife runs, whilst having a non-techie target audience has 40% of all users using Firefox, much to my surprise.
