When in http://findly.com/tax-preparation.htm, I clicked on Simons Tax Service,
and I received a page with the following:

function go(url) { var n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000); nw = "nw" + n;
window.open("http://www.findpal.com/?go=" + url, nw); } 

However, if I go to the intended url (http://www.simonstaxpro.com), it works
correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Other links on that page work for me with yesterday's nightly for Mozilla Suite
and Firefox.

Links ABOVE the "sponsored links" area work, the ones below don't.

ABOVE a link has the form:
<a
href="javascript:go('aHR0cDovL21ldGEuN3NlYXJjaC5jb20vc2NyaXB0cy9yZWRpcmVjdC5hc3A/dXJsaWQ9MTM0NTYyOTUmYWZmaWxpYXRlaWQ9NjE4MzYma2V5d29yZD10YXgrcHJlcGFyYXRpb24mcz1wbHMmdT1odHRwJTNhJTJmJTJmd3d3LmZpbmRwYWwuY29tJnJhbms9OQ==')"
onmouseover='window.status="http://www.linkfriendly.com/index2.php?links=tax";
return true;' onmouseout='window.status=""; return true;'>

BELOW it has the form:
<a href="javascript:go"
onmouseover='window.status="http://www.simonstaxpro.com"; return true;'
onmouseout='window.status=""; return true;'>Simons <b>Tax</b> Service</a> 

Seems like they simply forget the pass the parameter...

Note that IE has the same bug.
Broken site and not even a Tech Evang issue....marking as INVALID.

Of course you're free to notify the site master about the broken links :)
Also please fill out the URL field when filing a bug. Adding URL for you.

what i meant to say is that the site is also broken in IE.
