I can no longer click on either of these in Firefox, though it still works fine in Internet Explorer.

Could you try opening FF in Safe Mode? That will be a little cleaner than even disabling your extensions in your profile.

Could you get a list of the extensions? If you have InfoLister you can type 'about:info' (without the quotes) in the address bar. I've seen issues with links happen from Adblock, NoScript, and Greasemonkey...

You should have checked if there were any updates to your extensions, but hindsight is 20/20.

Yeah, I'm using AdBlock, which was probably the culprit. I did check my filter list and didn't see any blocked elements on the listal page I was having problems with at the time, though. I also have the "IE View" and "Image Zoom" extensions installed.
"What actually happens when you click on the links? Does it look like it's clicking, or does it fail in some other way?"
No, there was no indication it was link at all when it wasn't working. The cursor stayed as an arrow (rather than turning into a finger to indicate a link) when I moved it over the link and clicking did nothing.
** Actually, I just remembered that right before I left for the holiday here, Firefox automatically updated (from 2.0 to 2.0.0.1) which probably fixed whatever problem I was having.
Still, I appreciate your help.
