Firefox wide issue, firefox is not seeing the redirect:

<div onclick="javascript:aolmbweb.redirect('/mobileweb/2012/03/20/obama-boehner-debt-deal_n_1367955.html')" class="modLink">Obama-Boehner Debt Deal Not On Table, Officials Say</div>

I assume this is an issue on desktop too?

What's the regression range?

yep, reproducible on firefox desktop also, if you navigate to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb.  Chrome for desktop also works fine.

We'll work on this.

No, reproduces on mc tip as well as FF 11, so this is not a recent regression.

This looks like it goes back at least to 3.5, so not tracking for desktop.

This doesn't look like a JS engine bug. I would guess the onclick handler is not being run at all.

doesn't look like it works in 3.0 either... not sure if it's worth checking even earlier?
