Firefox issue with Motley Fool Website (not serious but annoying)

I have the latest version of Firefox.

I'd like to know if anyone else can reproduce this bug or if it's just my computer:

Whenever I go to the Motley Fool and do a stock quote, for example, it goes to a new screen showing stock info etc. About a third of the way down, there's a list of links with names like 'New Headlines' for xx Stock. I try to click on any of the links below 'New Headlines' but it doesn't work. It simply pushes my view of the same page a few inches down.

Anyone else get the same result?

Does the same thing happen when you test it with IE?

Do other links on other web sites work ok?

Just tried it with IE and it works fine there. Yeah, other websites work just fine with FF.

I get the same thing with Opera on quite a few sites. I think it's a target coding issue, if you hold the mouse over the link and read the URL, I bet it's something like http://www.blahblah.com/something/#

Try enabling JavaScript... I use FireFox as my primary browser and I sometimes come across sites that require JavaScript for links coded like that to work.

I have javascripts enabled. No difference.
