Hyperlinks unresponsive on first click
Hi folks, I'm not sure of this is a css issue but, I've found that hyperlinks are unresponsive on first click, but will invariably work on second click. This occurs on some websites, but not all. And... it doesn't happen all of the time.
Does anyone know of this bug and a possible solution?

Try it with running in the Firefox safe-mode. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Still the same issues.
Have you known of this bug before?
Are there example URLs you can share where this problem reliably occurs? (Sites that require a login or aren't family friendly wouldn't be good examples. ;-)
Sure. First thing to mention is that visiting the same website using other browsers does not raise the same issue. This problem is specific to Firefox and has been tested on several different desktops all of which exhibit the same problem.

Further to my previous reply: Clicking on hyperlinks once don’t work Clicking a second time they work fine
Did you previously had set focus to the page when it fails to work (i.e. does it make a difference if you first click on the page and then click on the link) ?

I don't notice any problems on those sites. They do have a lot of tracking scripts I needed to allow to get as clean a test as possible, but even then the links worked on the first click.
If you are visiting these pages again, a cached copy of the page could be an issue. Try using Ctrl+Shift+r to fully reload the page and see whether that makes any difference.
