Links open twice with Firefox 30.0

[Ken Anderson]

Have moved one of my sites from Developer Pro 7 to Web Designer 10 to allow automatic resizing for smaller screens. Nice. But having an odd problem with Firefox 30.0. Any external links open twice ... creating two identical tabs in the browser. Any ideas? Check www.skijumpingusa.com and click on any of the logos in the left or right columns.

Any ideas how to eliminate this and prevent it from happening in the future?

Thanks, TG ... always a good source of help!

Hi Ken, I can replicate that. It's fine in Chrome, IE and Opera. FF 30 opens two tabs and Safari opens two new windows.

Could you post your xar/web file. Just stripped back to your index page?

I've just updated to FF 30.0 and get the same.

In the web page DOM, I removed the ommousemove call (<a href="http://fasterskier.com/article/ussa-to-drop-funding-for-nordic-combined-jarrett-accepts-challenge/" target="_blank" onclick="return(xr_nn());" onmousemove="xr_mo(this,0)">read1</a>) and the double window link stopped.

No idea why.

Sounds like a bug Acorn.

Thanks, guys ...

But ... what is DOM? I'm assuming the text in bold is what you removed from the code, but I have to find what creates it. Presume I'll have to do that for every link, and there are a lot of 'em. But it's either that, or revert to my previous design using XWD7 until this bug is fixed.

Egg ...

Here it is, stripped to one page, with the top carousel slide show widget removed as well. All external links exhibit the double-opening behavior.

Thanks for looking into this for me!
