I'll have a look at it. In the meantime, try clearing your browser cache and cookies. You can do this in Firefox's options.
Clearing your browser's cookies should almost certainly correct the problem.

I just installed the latest version of Firefox on a Windows 7 machine here and it works perfectly, both in direct-access (by typing in hyperlink) or by clicking through a search. I'll keep looking at it, though I am almost positive that clearing your browser cache and cookies will rectify that issue. Make sure you restart the browser after doing that.

The 'Bad Request' error is almost always from an outdated corrupt cookie on the browser. This can happen to any browser and does not indicate any problem. We've been doing a lot of updates to the S&F site so that could also trigger that sort of message from an old cookie.
I usually clear my browser's cache and cookies every month. I highly recommend doing so, as it speeds up the browser, in some cases, immensely.

Posting from within Firefox - thanks for all the help!
Definitely a localized issue - somewhere between keyboard and chair!

Awesome! Glad it worked. I should put up an announcement for people to clear their cache and cookies if they're experiencing issues.
I'm happy you're all set now pointer.

I use Firefox and some of the pics FUJIMO posts in the "Mercury through the Years" thread don't show up. I can see he posted, but there is no pic. If I use Chrome or IE I can see them.
A problem is only a problem when viewed as a problem...
