Actually the problem is with javascripts implementation. It is supposed to very tolerant of code. So developers developing in it only work till "It works" point. Also behaviour is not completely consistent across browsers. Firefox / Iceweasel is actually most compliant to the specification. IE does the same job but not always according to specification. What that means is that you have to write slightly different code for IE and different code for FF/Iceweasel to get the same thing done. And in FF/Iceweasel you do it that way W3C defined it is to be done. IE is the one that does it differently. Don't worry about it unless some functionality breaks. which though I think is quite unlikely. And those big corporations, they are basically writing broken code so that it runs on both IE and FF. Not their fault either.
