It seems to work OK (as far as the login ) with FF on Linux- I think its 
probably more 'we are too thick to test on anything we haven't got in 
the office. It all seems to be standards compliant* - its probably 
windows engendered ignorance.
*though the use of pop-ups and new windows is just stupidly irritating 
and naive.
Its worth kicking their bottoms tho...
