Of course, you mean THEY have a browser issue. I have no problem 
using Safari, I enjoy it. But I will try Firefox when I work out the 
next issue: where can you go to buy it? I got to the Buy Now page at 
home, after using up the trial time, but I can't find a way to get 
there without running out of trial time, not even by looking at the 
site.

About PayPal and just using a credit card, yes, that's how a lot of 
sites are, but this one (wherever it is) only has options for signing 
into, or signing up for PayPal. There doesn't appear to be a way to 
do just credit card payment. Like others, most of my online purchases 
have involved eSellerate or Kagi, and those do allow use of credit 
cards without signing up for PayPal.

BTW, this in the FAQ is more funny than a lot of people will realize:
