Forwarding this bug on from an Irish user who filed it with us at gaeilge.mozdev.org: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18893 Quick translation of the report: "The links at the site http://www.teg.ie/ don't work as they should when using the Irish version of Firefox (2.0.0.13 and the earlier version as well). For example, if you put your cursor over the link "Maidir le scrúduithe", you can see the sub-links, but you can't click them. It appears that there is a problem with the localization, since the links work with the English version of Firefox. I tried Firefox in a few other languages as well (French, German, Swedish, Polish...), and the links worked perfectly in those versions. I'm using Windows XP." Additional information (from kscanne and other members of localization team): We see the problem on Linux and Mac OS X also. Here are screenshots of the error console on page load: http://www.flickr.com/photos/macasimages/2381724839/ and when mousing over "Eolas & Moltaí": http://www.flickr.com/photos/macasimages/2381724357/
The warnings seem harmless, the 'urchinTracker is not defined' error seems to be the problem on a cursory glance.
This is an evangelism issue. Use an en-US build and set the general.useragent.locale preference to ga-IE and the site will break. Just tested, with no Irish localization anywhere close to this installation, and the links were broken. You can set the preference by going to about:config. Best is to send a mail to the webmaster to fix the issue.

Thanks Axel. Conversely changing to en-US in my Irish build fixes it. Wish I'd thought of that. I just sent a note in Irish to the site contact explaining the issue.
Depends on: 572656
Is this still an issue, or can this bug be closed? (Or morphed to yell at them for their color scheme ;-) )
Thanks for the reminder on this Axel - it works for me with 4.0 ga-IE. Closing now and I'll let the original reporter know the good news.
