Glad I was able to show you a way to get at your data.  You are correct, I
can't get at the toyota site either but I can get on http://www.miniusa.com
which is a fairly complex site.  Same holds true with printing postage from
USPS site.  I can't do it with Firefox (and others can) but I can with Opera.
I believe it has to do with "other" packages interfering.  Because in each
case I matched what others were using for the main stuff (Flash, etc.).
I have seen this with the MLB site.  In order to listen to the broadcasts
a specific group of packages had to be loaded.  However, if you loaded
them, you could no longer capture audio/video to your cache.  I believe
it will be something very subtle.  For me it wasn't worth the time.  I can
now get at my credit card data and have figured ways around everything
else while retaining those things that were important to me.  I also
suspect that those who can resolve some of these pages are unable to
do some of the things I want to do.

good luck
