Sailplane Tracker oddness/bug (15-m and Open Nats)

I'm curious if anyone else is seeing the same problem I am, when they use the Tracker...

If you go to the main page for the 15-meter/Open Nat Championships
http://www.ssa.org/SailplaneTracker/default.asp?id=2223

You see tabs for "15" and "Open". Clicking on either tab in Firefox shows the task for the day and only a very partial list of the sailplanes flying in that class. Clicking on those tabs in Chroms gives a complete list of the sailplanes in that class but a bunch of "(no tracker)" messages next to many of them.

However, if you click the "- Industrial Airpark" button in the upper-left part of the page and then choose the "Tracks" tab, you see a complete list of ALL of the participants and their active traces - including many of the sailplanes that are missing from the Firefox view and/or showing "(no tracker)" in Chrome.

Is it just my PC, or are others experiencing this inconsistency?

...and same here Noel (both Windows and Linux). And, if you try to use IE, you will get a disclaimer saying "GlidePort runs best in WebKit browsers such as Chrome (Preferred) or Safari, or alternatively in Mozilla/Firefox..."

So, it sounds like there are features/functions not running consistently well in Firefox.

Just logged into tracker for today's (Thu., 27 Jun) 15m/Open Nats using Firefox...looks like things are functioning well!

Obviously, it isn't acceptable that you have to run a specific browser to view the sailplane tracker and especially limited to less popular browsers. SSA should have this corrected immediately (should never have happened in the first place).

In the development community, IE is not liked. In a seminar on developing
javascript, I was told "IE is your enemy". Things that work everywhere else
won't work on IE. Things that work on IE won't work anywhere else.
