Don't overlook Firefox!
If your site doesn't work in Firefox, it may be affecting a much larger portion of your visitors than you might think. According to a recent post on SearchEngineLowDown.com, 31% of web users last month used Firefox.
In the past, we've assumed that Firefox users made up around 10% of web users, but the numbers from January indicate that number is on the rise. Soon Firefox users could make up a third or more of web traffic, which means it's more important than ever to keep Firefox in mind when developing your website.

Funny, I'm usually more guilty of overlooking IE than firefox. My website (seomoz) is geared toward a mostly tech-centric audience and over 60% of our users use firefox. I have a tendency to primarily develop for firefox and then later get things working in IE.
It's just interesting that there's someone still on the MS side of the fence :)
We've had several clients whose sites had issues in Firefox. You'd be surprised how many outside the tech community just totally ignore it. And, the original post on SEL that inspired me to write mine was about how Wal-Mart's new video download site doesn't work in Firefox, which really blew my mind.
