I seem to remember an article awhile back where someone from Mozilla wrote that they didn't care to make up the last X% of the test because (if I recall correctly) they didn't agree with the interpretation of the standards that made up the tiny bit they were failing on. They felt they were keeping true to the actual spec and that the Acid was incorrect and thus it was silly to conform just to get that 100/100. I may be mistaken but perhaps the Acid test has now come into line with whatever spec items they were disputing. IF this is the case then my kudos to the Mozilla team for not "conforming" just to conform.
Edit: found the link: http://limi.net/articles/firefox-acid3/ http://limi.net/articles/firefox-acid3/ So it was not wanting to put in partial implementations when a final spec wasn't complete yet just to pass a test.
Edit again: Even Firefox 3.6 now scores a 99/100
- josefresco 15y agoThis is great and all for Mozilla, but the team at MS working on IE didn't have this luxury. If they took a plublic stance against an aspect of the test (even if completely legitimate) they would be ridiculed by the tech press.
- eggnet 15y agoIt is not a luxury, it is a benefit of the credibility Mozilla has worked hard over many years to build.
- bzbarsky 15y agoNot only did they have the luxury, they took advantage of it.
