LinearFirefox (Problems)

It seems that the tactics sometimes behaved a bit strangely with Firefox, but only if you got them wrong! This wasn't an intended punishment - "you will do the problem again until you get it right first time"!! 
Anyway, the programmer has fixed this now, and Firefox seems to work fine on Windows, but I would like to know whether it also works OK on other systems?

It wasn't a punishment. It enabled you to get it wrong and still get maximum points! Seems to be fixed now with firefox on Linux. Thanks.
There is also another issue, in that on Windows when you click on the piece that you are about to move, the cursor becomes that piece, until you click the destination square. That doesn't happen on Firefox / Linux - the cursor just stays as an arrow.

Yes, that's true, but apparently it is difficult to fix, and as it doesn't seem to be so important ... or is it?

I have never really considered that behavior to be a bug that needed fixing. It is just the way the program works. Some may like it and some may not.

It isn't that important, but I thought It worth mentioning. Its a nice feature, so you know that you picked up the correct piece.
