Ever since the last update, when I'm reading the main page on CNET news site everything works fine. When I click on a link to an article a sub page comes up but none of the comment links on that page will work (for example the comment links and "like" links at the bottom of the page). The normal links to other articles seem to work. If you want to comment or click a "like" link you have to refresh the page. This is FF 3.6.11 on Windows XP 32 bit. This was not an issue until FF was last updated.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Although you are correct in that booting the browser in safe mode did correct the issue, I had no desire to start troubleshooting what addon or plugin was responsible for the issue. I did update Java.

Today there was another update for FF, and when this update was done the issue was corrected. Because of this, and since I really don't have time to be troubleshooting browser issues, I have disabled all the automatic updates in all the FF browsers in our shop, and at home. I am only going to update them if there is a significant change. I realize this may be a security issue, however I just cannot spend the time required to correct issues caused by browser updates. Again, I realize issues can be caused by the plugins not "following the rules" and not being updated but even so I cannot justify spending huge amounts of time correcting issues that would not happen if I did not update the browser.

Thanks for your time helping me with this problem. I will not be updating any more unless I read about a serious problem that has to be corrected.
