hmm.  The problem may be that the code:

var firstHit = document.links[1];
parent.parent.pic_map.location.href = firstHit;

makes the variable firstHit an object instead of a string. At least the URL that
Mozilla tries to go to is:

http://webcenter.love.netscape.com/LoveBrowse/%5Bobject%20HTMLAnchorElement%5D

So this could be a JavaScript issue...

This may actually be the right behavior.  document.links[n] returns the object 
(HTMLAnchorElement), and then you can get its various attributes from the 
object (e.g. var link = document.links[2]; var href = link.href).  Hixie, let 
me know if I'm wrong here.

(Actually, I need to evangelize them if it is, indeed, a problem on their end.  
Please reopen & reassign to evangelism if someone can confirm that this isn't a 
client bug)

This is a duplicate. I had marked the other bug as WONTFIX, but since it seems
there may be more websites out there that use this feature I have reopened it
for re-evaluation.

And Boris is right, document.links[1] should return an object per the spec. If
you would want the href, you should say document.links[1].href
