Why can't Safari do virtual tours?

I've been attempting to look at real estate over at www.realtor.com, and I have found that Safari doesn't seem to be able to do the virtual tours 80 percent of the time. Sometimes they will load, but most of the time they will just get "stuck". If you give it a try, you'll find it works sometimes, but most of the time it'll stop working.
Now, I used to be able to use Internet Explorer instead, but that doesn't seem to be working for the moment either. Of course, if I use my old Windows notebook, everything works fine.
Anybody have any advice?

It would be a lot easier to troubleshoot if you gave a url to a page with a problem...

I've noticed this too. The problem VTs in Safari were "HomeTours360° Powered by iPix". I use Mozilla FireBird to view these VTs. It takes a while to 'load' each VT (and pegs a G4 500) but once it's loaded Firebird displays it nicely.
This may be just a coincidence but the broken VTs in Safari were in browser windows that attempted to resize to full screen but failed AND are missing the resize widget (decoration). FWIW Safari does not correctly respond to some HTML requests to resize/reposition an open browser window.

Um, the url is www.realtor.com. I can't directly link, but if you go on the page and try a virtual tour you'll see what I'm talking about.
Thanks Aslexless, I'll download and install Mozilla and give that a try. It looks like I'll need to have more then one web browser for my needs, that's for sure. I hope Apple works on nipping this in the bud, so to speak.
