I see the cookie errors on many pages. Those don't particularily bother
me as all you need to do is press y and continue. Somewhat annoying but
less so than taking the time to get firefox 3 built and installed and/or
switching to windows to get something I can use. Is there a good
accessible gui browser that works with most pages?

This is amazon's toll free number.
I have already spoken with tech support, and they realize the problem, but
need to know that others are encountering it, and most importantly that a
few months back systems worked fine.
Hi,
I'm referring here to Lynx the cat. I must say that I've had problems with
amazon.com/access for a lot longer than a few months. I don't remember how
long but I would say a year. Specifically, the editorial reviews don't work.
When that happened, I just gave up on the regular Amazon site with Lynx. Now
I use a graphical browser and I suggest that others do the same. I still use
Lynx for 90% of my browsing needs but the fact is that Amazon and many other
sites will continue to break on text browsers. Another site that has this
problem is newegg.com. I end up in an endless refresh loop with Lynx.
Specifically, I'm told to refresh the page because I'm seeing a message that
my browser isn't supported but that just reloads the same page with the same
refresh. I'm not sure if it's because of Javascript or not but I'm thinking
not. In the past few days, Google changed their cookie they issue for
searches and I get an error about it every time I use the Linux search with
Lynx. That never used to happen. Even sf.net was giving me problems with
Lynx off and on but that seems to be fixed for the moment. Going back to the
editorial reviews on Amazon Access, I just get a blank page when I try to
read them. Other parts of the access site work fine. Honestly, it isn't
worth me calling their phone number when I can use Firefox under Windows as
I've been doing. In the case of SourceForge, I just use rsync which works
faster anyway. In the case of PayPal, newegg.com and other shopping sites, I
use Firefox. For those of you not running Windows, I don't know what to
suggest except maybe edbrowse which claims to have full Javascript support.
