Broken: Problem with Firefox 3.5/3.6 and Safari 4

The ultimate experience also allows, for zooming in, indefinitely, on the important text, on each page, due to my design making use, of real text, with custom fonts (designed to be readable at small sizes) and vector graphics, for backgrounds, to allow optimum navigation, on a portable device, or for people, who need, to zoom in, on the page, to read it. This also makes the text crisp and clear, as possible, on a device, with a higher, than normal resolution, like the iPhone and iPod Touch 4 and higher, while still having the pages load fast.

There are also 5 different designs, for different contexts: 2 for small screens, depending on device orientation, one for print, and 2 for advanced browsers with big screens, depending on device orientation, as well as a separate mobile site, for even less capable phone browsers. This way, even after zooming in, the text and graphics are crisp and clear, with no distortion, even, at the highest level, of magnification.

Unfortunately, this made my website unreadable in Firefox 3.5/3.6 and look horrible in Safari 4.0, due to bugs, in these browsers. Firefox and Safari, in previous, and later versions, works fine. The only way to fix this, without slowing my website down, on mobile devices, and/or having, to update, every page, of my website, would make it incompatible, with Internet Explorer 6-8. As long as you have Firefox 4.0 or Safari 4.1 or higher (comes with iOS 4.0, or higher, and Mac OS X 10.4, or higher, with free all updates applied), you will be able, to take advantage, of these new features.
