"amazing"? By this do you mean full of non-portable bells and whistles, and other idiosyncracies? Sorry, but that's not an amazing web-site according to my book. A good web-site is either simple and clean, or includes standard-compliant, portable embelishments. (which are usually not necessary).
Actually, a site doesn't have to be clean, and can have all the bells and whistles you want and still work with mozilla. Hell, you can even make a site which is full of bells and whistles and is still accessible, if you know what you are dong. IMO, telling web-masters that their site must be simple in order to work with mozilla is shooting ourselves in the foot- you will get the same response that you got here "then why bother?". They think that Mozilla is limited and won't even try, although in fact mozilla has a few tricks up it's sleeves that IE can't handle to save it's life.
IMO, a better approach should be:
* the W3C wrote web standards. sites built to standards work in all browsers (present and *future*) with minimal adjustments.
* not building the site for standards, and instead building it to a specific browser only, limits your teachability and market share.
* many of those people you are missing on just happen to have demographics that advertisers love... (educated, high income, people who will try things (=gadgets) before everyone else).
