I will also throw my 2 cents in here instead of reporting another bug. I am
using build 3/14 and I can not open any links on this site (fark.com). A new
window opens and gives a bad url message. This might be a mozilla bug or it
might fall under tech evangleism, becasue I could not get it to work with IE6
either. Any link you click on in the main listing of news events causes this
behavior.
