jQuery Modal Box Issues

I had major issues with ThickBox 3.1 today. It's supposed to be a modal toolkit for jQuery but the latest version has too many bugs. With a fresh install, it refused to work in Firefox, and after a few bug fixes I found that it also didn't work with IE8! I did find many fixes for these through Google, but whats the point of needing to fix something 'out the box' when you can send it back and get something else? Oh well, I've ended up going with the jQuery lightBox Plugin instead.
