I think part of the reason nobody tests for it anymore is just because web standards have largely gotten so good. I don't often test in FireFox these days myself largely in part because it just hasn't been a problem in years.

I'm old enough to remember the days when every change I made I had to roll through multiple versions of IE all the way back to 6, and different things would be broken in different versions.

It makes me shudder to remember when we had to include some outlandish workarounds just to make shadows work on IE6, not to mention custom web fonts.

Remember the Line25 "realistic shadows" pack??

(I cringe when I look at some of the emails I had with them back when I was 11, though...)

Transparent PNGs using CSS filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader is my shudder. Flat design would have made life so much easier back then.

The ghost of sIFR looms large in the memories of some.
