This is a bit of a naughty suggestion, but, you could write a message to ask for all JS code on the site to be removed and replaced with normal links. I have done that already, but I received no response so I guess it is not a high priority :(

What do you see in Firefox where the links should be? Could you post a screenshot?

Which version? By the time I started with Firefox, it was already 3.0 (with which I have no trouble seeing mersenne.org links -- JS-enabled), so I have no experience with FF 2. I see comments that lots of stuff was improved between FF 2 and FF 3.

Here is a screenshot. The version, by the way, is 3.0.4.

Well, JavaScript must be running, because otherwise the links from "My Account" to "About GIMPS" won't appear at all. So, what exactly is the problem? Does clicking on the little plus signs on the left of those links somehow fail to expand the menus?

I did not realize that that was the function of those plus signs! I clicked on "About GIMPS" and only got redirected to the same page, but I thought that the plus sign was just part of that same link. Thanks!

I still miss the benchmarks page, though...

clicking on the little plus signs on the left of those links

Is there a way to have clicking on a link ("My Account", "My Team" ... "About GIMPS") result in expansion of the menu whenever the current page is already at that link?

I.e.,

1) if one is at the "My Account" page and clicks on the "About GIMPS" link, it goes to the "About GIMPS" page,

but if one is already at the "About GIMPS" page and clicks on the "About GIMPS" link, it expands the menu beneath "About GIMPS".

OR

2) simply automatically expand the menu whenever the viewer is at one of the main link pages?

I.e., if one is at the "My Account" page and clicks on the "About GIMPS" link, it not only goes to the "About GIMPS" page, but also expands the menu beneath "About GIMPS".

(These would be in addition to the existing function of the little plus signs.)

... and ... do all this "with normal links"?

Hey, why don't "they" just remove the JS code and put back the friendly standard HTML links? Now that's a good idea, I should have thought of that before.

Of course, it doesn't work well nowadays with "broken CD", or even worse with "broken MP3".

There's "CPU Benchmarks" under "Results Queries".

Thanks, that page is definitely helpful.
