FF versions!
WTF is with Firefox's numbering system? It's really goofy. You log in some other system, and you don'tknow whether 12 or 18 or 20 is really outdated or ok to use. Switch the numbering back to version...

At least the result page shows where Opera 12 really stands : behind IE 10, at the last position, for every score ! It's one thing to claim having fast Acid3 rendering and WebGL if one cannot enjoy...
