firefox is just a burning fox.  
since oil is becoming more and more expensive, people in europe started looking for regenerative energies.  
And foxes just burn good.

I also have problems viewing certain flash movies with firefox… I’m not sure why though, they work fine in IE, but not firefox.

For example, the snake in my game: [www.barbdwyer.com/snake.php](http://www.barbdwyer.com/snake.php) appears in IE but not in Firefox.

Could it maybe be a problem with the browser? :gasp:

Charles Bronson looked like worn leather from the minute he was born till the minute he died, why would Clint be different.

I guess to be really tough, you gotta look like leather (see Palance, Jack too)

Another issue I noticed with Firefox - most (if not all) of the tutorials on Kirupa that feature an example of what the tutorial is for don’t work in FF. ☹

I believe Firefox doesn’t show those because its a W3C complaint browser. The embed (or is it object) tags that they were using probably aren’t correct.
