Firefox issues

Does anyone else have the same Firefox problem where if a link goes to "javascript:void(0);" it becomes a dead link?

Edit: I guess this is similar to what I'm talking about.

Edit: turns out it was an issue with Tabbrowser Extensions. Fortunately Tab Mix seems to have most of the TBE features I need in one handy extension instead of the kludgey multiple-extensions solution.

Verbal agreement

From a Grauniad Guardian article on James Dyson , inventor of the dual-cyclone vacuum cleaner: He still has one major ambition. To become a verb, in the same way that Hoover - or, as he puts it, "the alternative" - has done. I suggest to him that people are already using his product but still saying they are "hoovering".

It's a selection thing. Anyway, the post had a link to pictures of what they claimed was a "I Look Like My Dog" contest (urban legend alert - I think it's more likely to be just a series of regular Cesar ads), including this one: Update: some quick Googling shows that the idea that this is a dog-resemblance contest is almost certainly not true. Presumably the "winners of the 'I Look Like My Dog' contest line was meant to be facetious, but people have taken it seriously. In reality, these were ads done by ALMAP/BBDO Sao Paulo that won some Gold awards at the 2000 Cannes Lions ( thi
