(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[deepakcs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

cannot click on the links, instead text cursor appears.
For eg: If you see there is a  hyperlink named 'login', but I am not able to 
click it. I see a text cursor when i place a mouse there. But if i use TAB key 
of the k/b and get the focus on the login hyperlink ( by checking the status 
bar to confirm that I am on the logon link ), and press Enter, i go ahead.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.icicidirect.com
2.Try clikcing the login hyperlink
3. Instead of a hand, you see a text cursor , and hence cannot click on the 
same.

Actual Results:  
Not able to get to the login page

Expected Results:  
Should have been able to click it and get me to the login page

workaround is to use TAB  and get the focus on the login hyperlink and press 
Enter

That site works fine for me. Are you using any extensions that could cause this?
Can you try it with a new profile?

How can i try with a new profile.
I am just using the mozilla firefix as it has ben installed. No changes made,
except for the connection settings, in which I speicify the proxy. I know
similar problem is faced by many of my colleagues here.
