I tend to do the same; if it does not work in Mozilla (browser of choice), i write to site owners. More often than not, it has been a case of ignorance rather than arrogance. Many developers are (still) unaware of the changes between javascript browser sniffing as most commonly applied pre IE5.5/ Mozilla (and children), Opera 5+, Safari etc - all of which have become DOM compliant. And very often site owners are grateful for the feedback which allows them to have this corrected.
