I am having a strange Firefox issue that is baffling me. It only happens on slashdot and only in Firefox. It even happens in a new clean profile without any extensions:

I can't left click anyones embedded links. Example

Using Fusion To Propel an Interstellar Probe - Slashdot

Search for Orion. Someone has a wiki link to project orion.

I hover my mouse and it registers like a link, but I can left or middle click all day and nothing happens. Right click doesn't immediately register but with several clicks it eventually will pop the context menu.

I only get this in Firefox and only on slashdot stories.

How weird is that?

More testing. It must be a DNS/ISP issue or something.

When it worked in Iron I thought it was a firefox issue, but I also have the same issue in Opera11/IE9.
