    Could someone else using firefox try this link to see if the "gallery" and "compare specs" buttons work? For some reason they wont open in firefox, but will open in IE. This all happened after leopard came out and its kinda annoying.

    "Compare specs" was the only link which worked for me. FF w/Ubuntu.


    Edit: Sam, looks like Apple is only interested in selling a new MBP to current Mac users! LOL

    It isn't working for me on Firefox for Mac. Not that I use FF much, I just stick to Safari.

    It's not Leopard, it's Firefox.

    They work for me, but I had to click the buttons multiple times in Firefox. Try clicking the other buttons, then click the button that you actually want.

    Or use Safari, the buttons work perfectly in Safari.

    Yeah, they totally forgot about the numbers they were talking about at Macworld 2007: "half the Macs sold last year were to switchers" :D.

    Well, you said the buttons work in IE, so I guess that's the best option at the moment. Some other websites require IE. Also, try the IE Tab plug-in for Firefox. Too bad this plug-in doesn't work for OS X.
