Since other Firefox users said they were not having problems, I upgraded my version, and that fixed the problem.

Could some of you using Mozilla Firefox head over to One Free Korea’s to see if it works for you?
The site has had some issues that his server says were not NK-attack related.
When I was able to load the site while in the library using Explorer, I dropped a note saying it might be a Firefox issue.
But One Free Korea said he is using Firefox himself…???…
And I’m still having the same issue at home using Firefox: When I click on any link to any page on the site, it immediately opens the Open With/Save As small window. And I’m not having the trouble with any other site so far…
So, if Firefox users could try it and add a comment here, or at that second link above if you make it through, it might help point in the right direction…

Works fine with Firefox 3.5 here. Clicked thru 3 of the main links at the top no issues.

Firefox is for losers. Both Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari 4 for Windows outperform Firefox and Internet Explorer. See here.

Chrome is nice, and I haven’t used Safari much to have an opinion on it. However neither has the plug in and add on support of firefox at the moment. Perhaps that will change especially when Chrome goes mainstream. But for now I’m sticking with Firefox. Anyways Koreans rarely use firefox because most Korean websites don’t support firefox and rely heavily on IE functions which is a pain in the arse. I have to use IE for a lot of Korean websites to display and function properly.

First thing you should do if experiencing weirdness with a browser before suspecting a virus or hacking is to clear it’s cache and try it again.
Sometimes there can be a crossing of cache data with newer data.

I’ve tracked down problems on Windows/Linux dual boot computers. The Linux side was set to update the system clock to UTC time. When switched back to Windows the system clock was several time zones out of date. So when using the browser older cache was being used instead of newer data.

OP, that happens to me sometimes with Firefox, however it has always fixed itself when i rebooted the computer, started new session (not restore) upon starting the new session.

Thanks for the feedback. The server guys also asked me to clear my browser history, now that I think about it. Firefox works fine for me.

I rebooted the computer but had the same issue.
So, I upgraded Firefox, and that fixed the problem…
