The problem: After a Firefox update to version 20.0 I noticed that when I right clicked on a page I had a lot more options to choose from but none of them worked - they literally did nothing at all, I could not view images, I could not open links in a new tab etc.

Now for anyone who has read the Code Guru's latest blog post you will know we are not a fan of non standard compliant web browsers here at Symphony Towers. Cross browser testing for defunct browsers can be very time consuming, restrictive and extremely difficult to do.

The web standards project was conceived in a time of war. The dominant browsers of the time, Netscape and IE were battling it out, practically incompatible to the point where web designers had to build and test websites in both browsers to ensure they worked correctly.

Standards are well on the way to being implemented, even by serial offender Microsoft. So things must be easier for the resident web designers here at Symphony Towers?

We're developing a web application for a client, and I just wanted to share the planning process for this particular application. By no means is this meant to be a 'that's the way to do it' kind of post, but hopefully some people may find it useful. We'd welcome some suggestions on how we can improve this process.

The version of Mootools that Joomla 1.5 is shipped with does't work with the latest version of Firefox, FF18. For us, components such as Frontpage Slide Show broke in FF18 across some of our sites.
