On New York Times Website, the "down" navigation arrow (bottom of right-hand slide bar) triggers the NYTimes help screen (only when double clicked). Happens on FF but but not W.Explorer. Exactly the same on two different computers, under windows and linux.

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This happens every time I double click the navigation arrow.
Happens w/ FireFox on Ubuntu or WIndows.
Happens on my work computer as well.
Doesn't happen with Windows Internet Explorer.

You say IE doesn't do this. Does IE also not display a dictionary definition when you double-click a word (inside an article page, not on the front page)? If IE doesn't show definitions for words, then IE probably isn't compatible with their double-click javascript. If it does, then maybe Firefox is misinterpreting when double-click should provoke an attempt at checking the dictionary.

NYTimes.com fixed the Javascript so it only happens on words, and you have to click the little "?" button that pops up before it opens a new window.
