CE6 is very still a buggy with different versions of browsers and we have several reports of problems either with Macs or PC users with IE6 or 7 or FireFox or Safari. You just need to be patient until we have a hotfix to resolve this intermittent issues.

If you encounter problem with one browser and you don't have time to fix the problem, just switch to another browser. Most of the time, the other browser will work.
