As we all know, iceweasel is basically a renamed version of firefox in Debian. The renaming was due to licensing issues. Except for the renaming there is no difference between firefox and iceweasel.
The following are the list of websites that wont work properly with iceweasel. The tests are performed with iceweasel 2.0.0.16, Debian Etch (Stable).
It is not very difficult to design a website which works the same way on all the browsers. I wonder why these companies are so incompetent in putting up a W3C standard complaint web site and not use any proprietary software. It also makes one wonder, if it would be better to take the business to companies who have the decency/ability to set up a browser-friendly website?
