E.g: the COO may get really pissed off to find that with all the

But can you honestly tell him that?
The sad truth is so many Israeli sites don't work properly in Firefox, that
many people have become used to working with two browsers: Normally they
use Firefox, or their iPhone, or whatever, but when they want to user their
bank's site and it doesn't work, they go to their Windows computer, and run
IE specifically for that. Since 99% of the users (not 80%) have Windows and
IE, only 1%, not 20%, are shut out. The other 19% may be slightly annoyed,
but not much more.
this may be true for monopolistic sites that have no alternative (e.g.
government sites, possibly your bank's site, etc.).
for sites that have competition, users with firefox will likely go to
whichever of them that has firefox support.
