Comment 23 for bug 575897

> The standard will be changed based on that discussion.
Poppycock! While, yes, the standard can get changed, the timing becomes too slow to be practical. The standard won't get changed for years after the initial conversation and after many discussions/revisions. Meanwhile, solutions have to be created and implemented by developers. The new standard looses its effectiveness until major browsers catch up.

Comment #3 was posted 9 months afterwards. It has been so long, I don't remember if I tried Comment #3's suggestion or not. What I do remember is the frustration that I had with Firefox on Linux while this 'bug' on the site's page was able to work with Firefox on WinXP.

Why is Mozilla treating Linux with a lower priority than MS? Shouldn't us users be able to expect that browsers have the same behavior across platforms? When the browser behaviors start to drift, is it unreasonable to expect that the browser with the worst user experience be the one to get fixed? We all know that MS Windows is a different enough beast than Linux which might make common behavior hard to achieve; but what is the harm in trying?
