Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

What do you see?
There aren't any images attached to those links, so I see the alt text and the link text and both are in blue. If you've visited the links then you will see the visited color (#404040).

.product_container a:link {
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #0000ff;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.product_container a:visited {
	color: #404040
}
.product_container a:hover {
	color: #800080;
	background-color: #F0F0F0
}
.product_container a:active {
	color: #009900;
	background-color: #D8D8D8
}

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
