I'm original reporter.
Sorry, this report is not enough to explain my message...
(I'm poor in English... so rely on Hideo Oshima to report.)

The follow is my story.

At first, mouse-cursor is pointed over the Firefox-logo, then displayed the link [http://mozilla.jp/firefox/] on the bottom of Firefox window.

But, click the logo --> Then, actually, jump to [http://www.facebook.com/].

(This may be called "faked link" ?)


Another Web-browsers act below --

 Google Chrome 15
  --> When mouse-over the logo, displayed the link [mozilla.jp/firefox/].
      And, click and jumps to [mozilla.jp/firefox/]
      Displayed link is match to jumped URL.

 Internet Explorer 9
  --> When mouse-over the logo, displayed the link [http://www.facebook.com/]
      And, click and jumps to Facebook page.
      Displayed link is match to jumped URL, too.

Only Firefox, Displayed link is NOT match to jumped URL.

Sounds like we should do what IE does here, but that has nothing to do with form controls; it's a matter of the front-end UI.

That said, with a bit of script the page could prevent submission of the form, etc.. but the link might still get followed.  So I don't think you can really win here.

Reproduce on SeaMonkey-nighty/WinXP.
I think, it is Core Bug.
