I've been using firefox 2.0 for awhile now and recently have encountered some strange problems. Certain links on pages viewed in firefox do not work... they bring up the standard error page. This problem happens randomly with some links (one day they don't work, the next day they work), but some specific links never seem to work anymore. This is especially the case with myspace.com, where any "Next" and "Previous" links won't load. This is not just a myspace issue, as it occurs in google too. If I misspell a search word in google, google will of course suggest the logical search word, but that link contains the same error which doesn't load the appropriate page.
I have noticed why these links don't work, as when hovering over the link, the url address is visible in the status bar. In myspace, for example, when I hover over "Next" the statusbar displays the address "http://ctl00$cpmain$pagerbottom','2/" (where "2" is the next page number). It seems to disregard all of the parent directories. Obviously, "http://ctl00$cpmain$pagerbottom','2/" is not going to bring me to the correct destination.
Same in google... in searching for a forum on this issue, I accidentally typed the search words "firefox prolbems." Google suggested the phrase "firefox problems" but that link led to an error page. The status bar showed "http://firefox+problems&spell=1/" when I hovered over the link. It seems to have disregarded the google main directory. Obviously, that link is bogus, too.
I'm not too tech savvy, but I think this might be a Javascript issue? I've uploaded some images to help depict the problem. I should also note that these issues do not apply to IE7 (too bad I hate IE7!!). Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
