User-Agent:       SpaceBison/0.01 [fu] (Win67; X; ShonenKnife)
Build Identifier: 

I've put an exmaple page up at http://jasontamez.com/link_error.html

The first sentence should have a link in it, but Firebird won't show it. But if
you select the text and copy it, the link text gets copied.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an HTML page with "?click" in the href of an anchor.
2. Try to display it.
Actual Results:  
The links become hidden.

Expected Results:  
The link should have been displayed.

Does turning off Proxomitron fix it?

Comment 2

[Blair Bonnett]

The link shows just fine for me.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031203 Firebird/0.7+

FWIW, I don't have Proximitron; the only program, as far as I am aware, that
would check the data being transferred is AVG Anti-Virus.

The link shows for me too.  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.6a) Gecko/20030923 Firebird/0.7+

The reporter appears to be using Proxomitron based on his UA string.

I do use Proxomitron, but I have it shut off and the link's still not
displaying. (I have it set not to translate pages on my own domains.) The link
appears perfectly in the source code, and it appears if you select/copy the
text. It just doesn't show on the page.

I also use AVG anti-virus. I disabled the resident shield and reloaded and
shift-reloaded and created new pages with the link. It still won't show up.

I assume you mean "in View Source in Firebird".

Does it look like "This sentence has a link that won't display in Firebird."?
Or is there more space between "won't" and "display"?

Do you have a user style sheet?
If so, do any lines look like :link[HREF*="?click"] { display: none } ?

Comment 6

[Jason Tamez]

Yup. This is the culprit, I'll bet. I didn't realize I had this.

... *[src*="?click"], *[href*="?click"], ... {
display: none !important;


Sorry to waste everyone's time.

Where did you get that user style sheet? 
http://texturizer.net/firebird/adblock.html?  Maybe we should contact the author...
