Details

you can see that you cant click to enter any of download or others links
Reporter, what build are you using?
Summary: cat enter to some links → cat enter to some links
Summary: cat enter to some links → can't enter to some links
The reason Downloads, White Papers and some other link don't work is that the
page contains invalid code -- it's not Mozilla's fault. Reporter, you might want
to read http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html before you
file any more bugs. Thanks for your help with testing Mozilla!

Technical description (you can skip this if you're not interested):

The downloads and the other links are <a> elements without any 'href'. The page
contains some JavaScript which captures every click and figures out whether you
just clicked on one of those links. If you did, the following code is executed:

srcID = srcElement.id.substr(0, srcElement.id.length-1);
targetElement = document.all(srcID + "s");
srcElement = document.all(srcID + "i");

Mozilla doesn't support document.all since it is not part of the W3C DOM, so
this bug is invalid.
