In an in-house generated help system I am unable to open any hyperlinks using Firefox 3.0.5. Sometimes only the Help framework displays without any content. The help system works fine with all other browsers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Invoke the online help from the tool (our product)
2.The help frameset displays without the content.
3.IF the content is displayed then the links do not jump to the target source.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Clicking on the link should jump to the source content.
The helpset frame should display the contents.

Nothing we could do without a testcase

This was a firefox security issue. When the help was being invoked from within our tool it would not invoke the external master help file. Could resolve it by modifify help generator's API.
