These are some great ideas, and we'll see what we can do about them (though it's unlikely it will be anything by this weekend). In the mean time, you can A) try Chrome, and B) Check the "My submissions" panel post-submission to make sure you submitted what you thought you did. If you didn't for a Small, use Ask a Question to let us know and we can let you resubmit with only a 4-minute penalty; if you didn't for a Large, just resubmit right away with the right code (we can't help you through Ask a Question for that).
