OK, lemme qualify that.  Works OK as long as you keep going.  Seems to have a timeout of about five minutes, and, if you haven't done anything in that time, you need to agree to the terms and conditions again.  So, part of my current critical infrastructure is a need to have an additional browser window open, in order to do another acceptance of the terms and conditions before I send any message that took me more than five minutes to type.  (I'm using a Web interface, protected by SSL.  It's good to see that Firefox and SSL won't just accept any non-SSL traffic in the middle of my session, but it does mean the separate window is necessary.  On the other hand, it's nice to see that Firefox is acceptable to the YVR system: so many hotels demand that you have an IE window open in order to sign on or accept their terms.)
