This seems familar, it maybe a dup. sending to core layout who own the anchor 
tag. The anchor isn't letting the click go down inside.

This still don't work!!!

Look into the soucecode of te testcase: there is a link around the button to 
netscape.com. If I click on the button mozilla don't send the form & prooceed to
netscape.com.
Mozilla *SHOULD* send the form & go to where it's told to in FORM ACTION= ....

There is no reason, but it sometimes happen accidently, or by a generator program.
