The one thing I've learnt about selling online is that you should never ever work under the assumption that your users will be using a particular browser or operating system.

I booted up firefox for the first time in ages last nite, the site looked pretty similar except the adverts disappeared from the bottom of every page (I won't be doing that again), I'm not anti firefox, i'm just pro microsoft, i'm using a dell true life display, vista ultimate and windows live one care for protection on all my computets, I have to say i've not even had the slightest wobble out of any of them and i'm more than happy, firefox looks dated compared to IE using my own laptop...
I've tested the site on a good few mobiles and it's coming up well and usable...the tradedoubler adverts even appear on most of the mobiles...

If it makes you feel any better I've never subscribed to Microsoft Office, Open Office looks afer all my needs for free without any complications....

btw....can anyone sort out my post code....the money is burning a whole in my pocket.....

It doesn't matter whether you are pro-microsoft, anti-mac or whatever.

If you are serious about selling online you need to ensure that your website functions for users regardless of the platform or browser they are using.

There aren't any 100% reliable sources of browser usage out there, but this one is pretty good:
Browser Statistics

36% of users are on Firefox and that percentage can increase significantly depending on your demographic. See:

Browser Usage Stats - Is Firefox Gaining or Losing?

or

Browser / OS Usage

I totally agree with you, i'd say it's getting close to a 50/50 split...I know plenty of people who use it every day.....believe me i'm not trying to shut a door on those users....

I have used the site on firefox and it seems to function ok (just a little better on IE) Sorry had to get the dig in!!!!

Once I get the look and feel of the site to where I want it i'll start worrying about some of the more technical issues then....i'm not worried about the ads not appearing in firefox, in an ideal world they wouldn't be there in the first place....but i've got to pay for this hosting somehow.....

The origional question was about zen cart and not firefox!!

Im using zen for the first time and am also strugling with postcodes for ireland. Im trying to find a way to make the postcode box dissapear when ireland is selected. Anyone managed this?

I also just wrote loads of sql for uk and ireland zones only to find its allready available in the downloads section

And yes i am working on a sunday lol!!

In oscommerce you can have the postcode box ok but you can set it to either a required field or not with code. Are postcodes not being phased in across ireland?
