The purpose of this thread is to document the sites that do not work properly in OS X browsers, whether that be Safari, Firefox or some other browser you wish to include a report for. I'll start us out.

Report Date: Thursday, October 30, 2008
Site Name: Verizon Wireless Picture and Video Messaging
Site Owner: Verizon Wireless
Site URL: https://picture.vzw.com/login.do
Incompatible With Browser(s): Safari (major incompatibility) and Firefox (cosmetic incompatibility)

Report: This official corporate site, which allows users to access pictures they've uploaded from their handsets, is currently unusable in Safari (v. 3.1.2). Specifically, pictures that have been uploaded do not appear at all in either the message composition section or the galleries section. In Firefox (v. 3.0.3), there is a rendering bug that improperly renders the site's progress bar (which Safari renders properly, btw), but the core picture functionality works properly.

I've had trouble with a free e-mail site called MyWay. They recently "upgraded" the software they use, and they do not list Safari or Firefox as supported browsers.

I have login issues, which I've worked around, and speed issues. In addition, the address book listing doesn't work properly, and preference settings are hit and miss.

They've set it up to look more like Outlook than your typical web based e-mail environment. One of the more irritating malfunctions is that it has no memory. In other words, when I get it looking like I want it to, I can't save that for the next session.
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

Meh,
its a moving target, some sites work until they upgrade and then they don't and vice versa. That's why I have a couple of versions of a browser. If one doesn't work another should

This might have been relevant when safari first came out but I've had less problems using safari no then in the past.
