I was checking compatibility of my website. So I opened http://www.sethermal.com. It looked fine until I hovered over a link. Firefox added the website and broke the link.

Example. I entered www.sethermal.com into the address bar. The site came up fine. I hover over "Site Map" link on my page. Link is http://www.sethermal.com/pages/site-map.html Before clicking the link I looked at the bottom and Firefox shows www.sethermal.com/\\www.sethermal.com\pages\site-map.html When I click the link obviously I get 404 Page Not Found

Why is this happening?

Those links have a backslash instead of a forward slash. Firefox is not so forgiving as other browsers and treats a backslash as a valid character and thus prefixes the links with the URL of the page.
