Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This is the strangest thing I've ever seen in a browser. Aren't browsers meant to allow users to click on a valid link that's on any given page and either take you there or show you some kind of an error? Well, sarcasm aside, this browser doesn't seem to want to work like that any more and I'm not sure if it's because of some of the plugins I have installed or what. For example, try going to the https://e-uprava.apis-it.hr/igrast/afPregledi/Index.jsp and click on the link "pretraživanje" in the upper left next to "naslovnica". Nothing happens! Now, try telling it to open that link in a new tab and... whala, it opens in a new tab just fine!

What gives? I don't even know where to start on this trying to figure it out. Do any of you have any method of tracing what is taking place when this type of stuff occurs? Is there a log I can retrieve or watch some sort of a real time console output of what is the browser doing when I'm clicking on those links? The same exact pages I'm having difficulties with work just fine in other versions of Firefox, whether installed on Windows or Linux platform.

This is the version in Intrepid with the problem:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008101315 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.3

And this is the one in the latest openSuse 11 that I'm not having the issue with:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008091700 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.3
