WTF is that supposed to mean? About 10 years ago when the internet was growing at amazing speed and dialup wasn't even in everyone's home there were mainly two browsers available: IE and Netscape. Netscape is entirely based off of Mozilla. There were also a slew of others that were more or less related to Mozilla. Ever since then there have been websites that have not been coded properly which Mozilla-based browsers have not been able to display properly, and sometimes not able to read at all. Why is it the user's fault that their browser can't understand someone's crappy website?
Obviously the code used today is understood the same by both IE and Mozilla, as the code itself and the browsers have evolved. (Yes, HTML standards change, currently at 4.01 as published by W3C, the World Wide Web Consortium.) But websites are still made in ways that Mozilla browsers can't display them properly. ASP sites are an example, but
http://www.asp.net is coded entirely in ASP and it displays just fine in Firefox, where as your friend's site
http://www.evilboost.com does not.
Just some proof that it's not the browser that makes or breaks your internet experience, it's the people building the sites that you visit that cause the experience to suck or be enjoyable.
