Firefoxian Elitism (noun): The odd little assumption that Firefox is the standard by which one should judge all other browsers and what they ought and ought not be able to do; i.e., if something only works correctly in Firefox, then it's something wrong with all the other web browsers, not with Firefox. The fault is on the other browsers for not being able to display something that Firefox can. If a site will only display in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer, then it's cutting edge and modern, but if a site will only display in Internet Explorer and not in Firefox, then it's clunky and outdated. It's perfectly okay for a site to turn users away telling them to get Firefox before they can view it (I'm not exaggerating, people actually do this), but it's a grievous sin for a site to ask users to use Internet Explorer to view it.

Firefoxian Elitism is one of the main reasons I refuse to use Firefox. Call me petty for it if you will, but there it is.
