I'm somewhat glad to hear that, because I *swear* I was having the
problem.  It appears to be a bit of a Heisenbug.

One possible conflating factor:  I'm running a current 3.1.17 Galeon
session (up since Dec 8), but 3.1.18 is the currently installed version.
I've seen some oddments in the past in Firefox when it got upgraded from
underneath.

I'd right, left, middle, and in-ways-not-describable-in-a-family-mailing-
list clicked the page(s) in question.

Two sites I'm looking at, and one may be coded so's not to use standard
frames:

    http://www.sconsig.com   (standard frames)
    http://www.madville.com  (iframe?)

In the case of Madville, link to one of the referenced stories, e.g.:

    http://www.madville.com/link.php?id=86878&t=7

I *think* the problem there may be some sort of enforced framing.
Which, incidentally, is really maddening.  Fortunatly, well, it's
Madville.  And of course, hardly worth reading.


Peace.
