User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11

I created Spry menus in Dreamweaver. They worked properly until the upgrade recently, but now they don't. A few will connect to the proper page but very slowly. Most do not work at all. They do work in Internet Explorer. I checked for browser compatibility in Dreamweaver, and I got no errors. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on links in side and top menus on website indicated
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
Get no response for most; that is, the correpsonding page does not display. 
Get very slow response for a few menu items after clicking repeatedly; that is, the pages sometimes display but very slowly.

Expected Results:  
The pages for the menu items should display.

Peggy, the page works for me with 3.0.11 and 3.5. Some of the items are a bit tricky to click because you have to be over the text. Clicking only on the button doesn't call the appropriate event handler. With which version that have been working for you?

No matter where I click most of the links don't work. 

I don't know what the prior version was. I was up to date on versions prior to the last upgrade. I guess it was the prior version, whatever that was. 

Do you think it would help to deinstall and reintstall Firefox?

I uninstalled, deleted all the program folders, and reinstalled with version 3.5. Now the links are working, but they are very sensitive. You have to be right in the center of the text from top to bottom. The links work but are very annoying because sometimes you have to click a few times to get the cursor in the right position.

I cannot see a difference to the way IE is handling this. Martijn, would you mind to have a short look at the code?

Have you made any progress on this issue? I have talked to other users of Firefox who have tried to use the links for the site, and they do not work for them either. Your recent upgrade did not help. In fact, it seems that now the links are not working as well. After I upgraded to 3.5 I could get the links on both the vertical and the horizontal menu bars to work. Now I cannot get the links on the vertical menu bar to work at all. Some of the ones on the horizontal menu bar are working slowly and others do not work at all.

Works for me on:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009120208 Firefox/3.0.16 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9pre) Gecko/20100216 SeaMonkey/2.0.4pre

Is it possible the code on the site changed since this was last updated?  I'm not getting any sensitivity at all.
