A long time ago, the company I worked at had a website which worked only on IE, because it needed a specific ActiveX control for streaming video. But even though it would never work on Firefox, the developers still made as much of the site as possible work on Firefox, because whenever IE popped up an unhelpful error message ("Object expected" and others), reproducing the error on Firefox gave a useful error message.
