I have problems with IBM.com in all browsers. :-)

My frustration is with the FireFox group not IBM.
But that was Nathan's point. If IBM gets to choose (effectively) which browsers are supported, then why is it Firefox's fault rather than IBM's?
Now, it's certainly possible that Firefox broke something that shouldn't have been broken, but it's also possible that IBM is relying on something that is particular to IE, and that if they had stuck closer to cross-platform standards, that Firefox's update wouldn't have had any effect on IBM's stuff.
Note that Nathan also pointed out Chrome has trouble with Fix Central as well. So which is more likely, that Google and Mozilla are both wrong, and Microsoft is right? Or the other way round?
Not saying MS is always wrong, mind you. Just that you haven't established a good case for being upset with Firefox.
