Saying IE is "more accepting" of poor coding is either vague or wrong, depending
on what you mean exactly.
It's probably true that poor coders are more likely to check how their page looks
in IE, so unstandard code may more frequently work like the author intended in IE.
(This applies to companies that make plugins as well.) If IE is "more accepting",
it is only because people code for it more often. The opposite would be true if
Mozilla were the more popular browser. It has little to do with the code of the
browsers themselves.
But if you are implying that bad coding leads to stuff like crashes in Mozilla, you're
just wrong. Such problems are as bad if not worse in IE than in Mozilla 1.5. (They
are rare in both these days.) In this sense, both are good at accepting bad code,
Mozilla may actually be better.
