Cross Platfrom View Fails -- No, Wait, They All Fail... - 14 views

  I forwarded a copy of annotations and highlights with annotations to a colleague and to myself. I sent it from my Linux Firefox browser (Iceweasel, actually) where I made the annotations to my Mac, where I use Mac's mail app to read the mail and Firefox to browse.
  
  (1) The Mac mail app shows some of the note icons and the highlighted text -- but nothing else. They're not links and they're not complete compilations. I can't figure out what they might be.
  
  EDIT: I went back and looked at the source code of the email. It has the images only; no text of the annotations. This is clearly not a display-related problem, but a problem with the information sent by Diigo.
  
  (2) When I click on the link in the mail, I get a web page with a Diigo menu across the top. I can see highlights; when I mouse over them, I get an annotation window -- one that is distorted and cramped, with what looks like the full text hiding some of the window's title. I think I see all the text I entered, but it's not comforting to look at.
  
  I thought that was it... but now that I've reloaded the original page into my Linux Firefox browser, and I've installed the Diigo toolbar, all I see are a few of the highlighted text and their annotations. I can mouse over them and see the annotation window -- in some odd new window format. I can't drag it to arbitrary places on the window, because as I move it upwards it eventually slams into some invisible barrier. At the same time, none of the pure annotations I made on the page are visible -- not the little bubble that marks their location, or the actual annotation itself.
  
  I'm not getting off to a good start...

  Please advise the URLs for the pages that you're having problem with. Thanks
  
  Seem like it may be related to support for Linux Firefox browser (Iceweasel)
