Cisco NetAcad (http://cisco.netacad.net) includes a gradbook feature, with links
to click on exams you have already taken to review the questions (see the
answers).  The links do not load properly in FF on OSX 10.3.6.  This is hard to
fix because it requires a login and password to see the page the bug is on.  The
links just are not there on any OS X browser (including Opera, Camino, Mozilla,
IE, or Safari), and also Firefox.  But on the windows side, IE, Opera and
Firefox all load the links just fine.

By loading the links I mean the browser does not show that any link should even
be there at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to website
2. go to your class, click on gradebook
3. there should be verticle links that say things like Module 1 Exam, Module 2 Exam

Actual Results:  
no links found

Expected Results:  
to find the links so i can click them

If it works in every Windows browser, and fails in every OS X browser, then you
have two possiblities: either you have a filtering proxy on your OS X machine
that's eating them, or the site does bizarre UA sniffing, and refuses to talk to
Macs.

Neither one is a Firefox bug, by any stretch of the imagination.

If its in all browsers on your platform, its not a bug in our software more than
likely.
