I've noticed that with various states (yes plural) websites I deal with.
They all used to work with Firefox, now many of them do not. Google Chrome
still works on most of them but again I'm seeing support fading instead of
increasing towards open source.
Yet ALL of the websites say they are working towards supporting all
browsers....
Sad to see indeed...
