I've got the same UX problems as Rabbit with Firefox (on Linux, FWIW).

Additionally, NoScript tells me you're relying on JS from google.com, 
googleapis.com, and yahooapis.com (and this is before I've attempted to 
resolve the missing plugins problem**). That simply wouldn't fly on the 
sites I help run... we don't embed 3rd party scripts on our pages for 
security, privacy, and reliability reasons.

BTW, last month our main site (I work for a mid-sized US city) added our 
first foray into OpenID for public (vs. extranet) features -- a web 
commenting feature that supports local logins or OpenID (special buttons 
for Yahoo and Google, standard box for other claimed IDs). Among the 
first public users are some who chose to use the Google or Yahoo buttons 
rather than create accounts that only work on our site. I owe you, 
Andrew, special thanks for that, as we're using DotNetOpenID to make 
that possible.

** The missing plugins problem is significant on Linux: clicking 
"Install Missing Plugins" and then "Next" yields the message "No 
suitable plugins were found".
