Every single client I see, I put in the effort to make sure that they
will use Mozilla/Firefox.

We just need to spread the word further.

Also, companies that arent completely in bed with Microsoft must win the
development contracts for the portals.

Not to be funny but
- have you tried the "I am confident I meet the standards" option? or
- Firefox?

I have to agree with you that Mozilla/Firefox are definately more secure

and enjoyable to use than IE,
but most web developers or their bosses seem to think that IE still has 
the undisputed market share
they need to see links like

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
Firefox has 3% of the browser market share, IE on decline 
http://www.itfacts.biz/index.php?id=P1918

and tables like
Browser 2/18/05 1/14/05 12/3/04 11/5/04 6/4/04
Internet Explorer 89.85% 90.28% 91.80% 92.89% 95.48%
Firefox 5.69% 4.95% 4.06% 3.03% 3.53%
Non-Firefox
Netscape and
Mozilla browsers 2.47% 2.64% 2.83% 2.95%
Other 1.9% 2.06% 1.25% 1.07% 0.95%

These figures show that IE usage is on the decline,
personally I am suprised that so many organisations still allow IE to be

used on their networks with all the security issues that it seems to
have. Get some of the major organisations to adopt Firefox or Mozilla
and you 
will see those figures jump (or fall depending on what side of the fence

you are on)

Good Luck
