If a link is placed inside of a label tag with an input submission button, which it shouldn't be, the link will submit the form if the href attribute of the link contains a javascript request. If the href attribute is not javascript, the form does not submit. Here is a sample:

<html>
<head><title>Firefox 3rc1 label bug</title>
</head><body>

<h1>Firefox 3rc1 label bug</h1>
<p>If a link is placed inside of a label tag with an input submission button, which it shouldn't be,

<form action="destination.php">

	<label>
	<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit">
	<a href="javascript:void(0);">Link that should do nothing</a>
	</label>

</form>

</body>
</html>
