www.votebuilder.com. Before last FF update - all menu items in this site worked. Now some don't but work in IE
Using FF 16.0.2 (auto update Channel. On the website www.votebuilder.com suddenly some menu selections no longer work (Mousing over the selection returns this in a status window: "javascript:void(0);) Other menu options return a path like: "www.votebuilder.com/QuickLookup.aspx") There is no pattern to which menu items work and which ones have the "void" Java script.
This is a recent problem of only one day duration but it renders the VoteBuilder site and FireFox useless to me.
The site works fine in Internet Explorer 9.
I like FireFox very much and would like to find a resolution so I can go back to using it.

dbfitz - this likely means that somehow javascript broke on the site, but it's hard to tell what exactly happened without more detail. I work at the company that makes votebuilder - can you email me at dmiller@ngpvan.com and we can try to figure out what is happening for you? I wasn't able to reproduce it myself, but that might be because some code is running for me as an administrator that is not running when you hit the page.
You may have an extension that is blocking the JavaScript.
