User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

On this page, there are two boxes that contain a colored background and links.
Firefox recognizes the whole box as a picture so that the individual links are
not clickable. No problem in IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.stanford.edu/~rehall/
2. Try to click on one of the links in colored boxes
3.

Actual Results:  
The mouse does not change to the little finger, indicating that a link is there.
Instead the mouse pointer remains an arrow. Firefox indicates that the whole box
is a picture.

Expected Results:  
Let me click on the links.

The page seems to be generated in some MS Office application. Firefox interprets
the box as an image because it is in fact an image with hovering boxes above the
image.

The page is using <v:shape> which is Microsoft proprietary markup, not HTML.
