It works on my firefox and XP. Maybe the site is trying to download something, or one of your software extensions is interfering.

  1. try clearing your browser cache and the website cookies
  2. if problems continue try in Firefox's safe mode
    • do not make changes in the first window, just click on continue
    • use only the default theme
  3. still having problems, then in safe mode also disable plugins
