First thing I would check would be to disable all of your Firefox addons and see if the problem persists. There are a few addons that I know of that mess up the site.
Got a tip for us?

Trouble with forum header links: the Firefox breadcrumb glitch

Breadcumb Bug
Well... there's a very frustrating problem with the breadcumb bar at the top. It gets displayed as an image, and therefore it does not work the way it was meant to be. So if I am browsing a thread in the Buying Tips forum, and click Apple Hardware, instead of taking me to the sub-forum, I get to the main page of the forums, which is annoying. Only if you click the part of the link which is outside the picture, I get where I want.

'Mac community' link in Firefox
Say I'm in PSRI and I want to navigate back to the 'community section, for whatever reason in Firefox I'm taken back to the main mac forums. This does not seem to happen in Safari or other browsers. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I've been having all kinds of display issues with FF 3.5, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a FF bug.

One of your Firefox plug-ins is causing this. You can disable plug-ins to confirm this. Please use the Contact form if you need more help or information from us.
navigation link error
The forum navigation at the top is marred by the logo link.
Ex: Mac Forums > Mac Community > Site and Forum Feedback
If I try and click on the first 2, it redirects me to the board index. This is because the MR logo in the top has a link. The link, however, stretches beyond the logo.
I'm using Mac OS X and Firefox 3.5.

Breadcrumbs not working
Whenever I click on a breadcrumb while I am in a forum topic it brings me out to the main forum index, not to the specific forum that I clicked the breadcrumb for.

This is a fairly common problem that people are having with certain addons in Firefox. Try disabling some of your addons.
Site formating with Firefox
So I have noticed that when I use FF to view the site the main logo no longer links to the main page, but the hotlink marker is actually lower on the screen and interferes with the forums navigation links. When I use Safari this doesn't happen, but I perfer FF to Safari. Is this a known issue and if so is there a fix in the works?

Interesting issue regarding site navigation
I'm not sure how recent this problem has been for me, but I've only just noticed it within the past month or so.
Whenever I go into a sub-forum, and read the threads, and then subsequently try to navigate back to the forum via the clickable links here:
I am lead back to the main page. See the outline around where I had clicked? There seems to be an image, or there used to be a clickable image that would send you back to the main page.
Now, the funny thing is, this only happens to me in Firefox. Not Safari, Opera, or Google Chrome.
Anyone else experiencing this?

So, you click on Mac Forums and it doesn't go there? I haven't seen that problem, if so. I have Firefox, Safari, and IE8.
Firefox and Macrumors problem
This only seems to happen on this board:
When I try to click to go back to the sub-forum I am in, like Mac Basics and Help in the image for example, I get that dotted box that you can see. I have to click to the very right, on Help, to go back, otherwise it would take me to the main forum page. Anyone know what the problem would be?

MacRumors: Forums link covers up forum hierarchy!
The main link at the top w/ the site icon is supposed to link to the main forums, but for some reason the clickable space is appearing below the image and directly on top of the thread hierarchy as seen below:

If I try clicking on any of the forums in the hierarchy to leave a thread, it takes me all the way to the main forum page.
Running Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7

Problem with forum navigation bar in Firefox
Hi I have a problem navigating the different parts of the forum in Firefox. The tree structure near the top of the page that shows that I am currently in 'Mac Forums > Mac Community > Site and Forum Feedback' is clickable, but it always take me back to 'forums.macrumors.com'. For instance, if I click on 'Mac Community' to go back to that section of the forum, it's actually a link to forums.macrumors.com. As such, when I've finished viewing a thread, I have to go right back to the main forum page, and back into each individual section manually, which is very frustrating! This issue doesn't happen in IE or Safari.
Any pointers appreciated!
Thanks
Michael.

Weird issue with breadcrumb links at top
I have a strange problem with the breadcrumb links at the top of the forum. Here's a screenshot for illustration purposes:
When I click anywhere within that dotted line surrounding Mac Forums > etc > etc, it takes me to https://forums.macrumors.com. This makes it kind of a pain to navigate. Any thoughts? I'm on Vista, Firefox 3.0.3.
Edit: I just took a look at the page using the handy dandy Firefox Web Developer addon. Seems like it may be an issue with the positioning of the <a> for the logo.

This is a known glitch with one of your Firefox plug-ins. Turning off the plug-in will fix the problem.
MacRumors Forum Navigation Issue (Breadcrumbs) link issue described
I've been noticing a bunch of these threads recently and I think that this thread could be the one that we refer everyone else to.
The Issue
When using Firefox, users will notice when browsing the forums, the breadcrumb links at the top of the page will look distorted when clicking on the link.
The Fix
To fix this issue, simply disable add-ons in Firefox by going to: Tools>Add-ons and disabling them.
Hopefully this will stop most of these threads.

MacRumors:Forums Button MASSIVE.
Ever since the forum update that happened a while ago this has been happening:
I can never click back to the sub forum I was in without going to the main forum page. Pretty annoying.
EDIT: I just realized that if I click the logo, its not a link. Nothing happenes.

Bug with MacRumors: Forums logo hyperlink
Today I've noticed an annoying bug on the MacRumors forum pages. The DIV containing the hyperlink for the forum logo is actually over top the breadcrumb links, causing clicks on the links to send the user back to the forum home page. I inspected the element in Safari, and you can clearly see the misplaced DIV (I also used Firefox and Firebug to make sure it wasn't just a Safari/Webkit issue and was able to duplicate the bug there as well).
