Can you be more descriptive? This could be a number of problems. Yes, bugs are frustrating, but to get them solved quicker, the problem needs to be explained better.

Yes and no. It's a known and erratic issue with browsers and frames. Closing everything and coming back usually fixes it.

I've been getting it too just in the last couple of weeks. It boots me out of chat as well. A restart of Firefox has fixed it each time. I'm glad I gave up my dependence on having 40 tabs open all the time.

Tabs are life!

If you kill firefox through the Task Manager, you can restore the session and keep your lovely, lovely tabs.

Yeah, tabs are great. How many decades did it take IE to catch on? Just one?

You can also set firefox to warn you when closing multiple tabs, and then choose to remember your session. And if you use linux you can just execute "pkill -f firefox" in a terminal. ;)

I used an addon called SessionSaver with Firefox 1, the Task Manager kill trick for FF2 (yuck what a kludge), and the Save & Quit feature for FF3, but 40 tabs makes for an unhappy pc, and it trying to reload them all at the same time would make some of them fail and the URL vanish never to be retrieved. Plus if 10 of them were youtube videos they'd all start playing, creating a disturbing chorus.

This problem has got much worse recently (perhaps due to Firefox updates?). It's gone from happening every couple of weeks, to happening almost every time I log in. I can get round it without even closing Firefox, by simply launching a new window. TH always works correctly in a freshly created window.

To recap, to save reading up: the problem is all menu links causing a reload of the main map (index2.php) instead of the page the menu link points to.

Corrupt Shadow doesn't have this problem with his Firefox browser...

Yeah, I don't have this problem. I /do/ have a surprisingly bad memory leak in both FF 3.5 and 3.0.10-13, though.

I get ridiculous memory leaks in just about all versions of FireFox. Have to restart everything every few days, or internet runs at maybe 1/4 speed.

I don't get THIS interface error much -- maybe once a year. Wish I knew what to suggest, other than trying other versions of FF, or resetting it now and then.
