I have created an html web page with internal hyperlinks to parts of the page e.g. <a href="#qm_1.0">QM. 1.0 </a> linking to <a name="#qm_1.0">QM 1.0 </a>. These links work fine in IE but not with Firefox. Hyperlinks to other pages are ok.

That is this code: 

<a href="#qm_1.0">QM. 1.0 </a> linking to <a name="qm_1.0">QM 1.0 </a>

Remove the # from the name, and you should be using id= in either case no #

Use # only on the link.
