I would have to agree with the others here.
Coding for / with FF is easier because of the debugging tools (i.e.
Firebug, Web Developer Toolbar, etc)
Otherwise I have atleast 4 other browsers open, all the popular IE's
(5.5, 6, 7 & soon 8) and Opera.
I do find that Opera can give a good idea of what might be happening
with Safari if your a PC user, but do check from time to time, like
after major fixes and development stages.

This is how I work, but mainly for pragmatic reasons:
Better JavaScript de-bugging tools in FireFox.
Better CSS support, therefore fewer problems out of the box, and better
stylesheet analysis tools.
Finally, the one good reason: anything that needs to be fixed for IE can
be done with conditional comments, no such luck if you do things the
other way around.

Subject: [WSG] Code for Firefox, hack for IE
Hi,
For a while now, I've been operating on the principle "Code
for Firefox, hack for IE".
That is, writing CSS for the most standards-compliant browser,
and then making adjustments for non-standard behaviour.
I said this in a meeting last week to argue a point and my
boss said "who says?".
I could have said "me", but maybe that's not a good enough answer.
Somewhere some years ago I read this, or heard someone at a
conference or something and it got stuck in my head.
Is this the way anyone works?
Is it the best way to work?
Does anyone know where I got this idea from? Book? Blog? A bit
of googling this afternoon turned up not very much.
Thanks,
David
