You have it about right. There are some websites which are explicitly designed for
Firefox and cause trouble in
Safari. However, there is no browser which is more standards-compliant than
Safari.
Firefox is designed to solve two problems. The first is
Internet Explorer on Windows. The second is the perceived bloat of
Mozilla (now
Seamonkey). Like
Mozilla/Seamonkey,
Firefox is not native code. It uses a small runtime interpreter to execute XUL. This is why it is slow on some machines. To a cutdown version of
Mozilla was added an Extensions architecture to the existing
Mozilla/Netscape plug-in architecture. Extensions allow
Firefox to go beyond web browsing.
Firefox fans swear by them. But if you use your web browser exclusively for browsing the web, then you cannot beat
Safari.
