Is there any script running on that page that might cause it?

Does it also happen if you run Firefox in Save mode ?

What kind of element do you mean?

Can you post a link to a (test) page with that code or the code that is used?

I ran it in safe mode and it now works - why is this?

I disabled all add-ons - s/w ran in firefox. I enabled selenium add-on and s/w ran here also.

Thanks for the help.
