Internet Explorer "As a team, we've spent the last year heads down working hard on IE8. Last week, we achieved an important milestone that should interest web developers. Internet Explorer 8 now renders the 'Acid2 Face' correctly in IE8 standards mode." Insert freezing and hell joke.

Both IE AND Firefox have a quirks mode and a standards mode. If you use the correct DOCTYPE and have valid code, they are supposed to render the page according to W3C standards, otherwise they revert to a compatibility mode for older, non valid HTML. There's lots of good reasons for this.
