  I can confirm that this problem exists on that page (and any other "redbook"
HTML pages put out by IBM)

  Just a quick peek at the HTML coding makes me wonder if it isn't just an
incompatable JS problem (rather than an HTML Frames problem).  If you look at
the source of the left frame, you will see it is almost completely script. 
However, I'm not skilled enough in JS to really know what is and is not compatable.

The frame http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG245757/nn4/SG245757_bmark.html
has no content for Mozilla.

In http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG245757/nn4/bookmark.js :

function initialize()
{
   if(document.all)
      gBrowser = IE;
   else if(document.layers)
      gBrowser = NN;
   else
      return;
...
