On the url below the only page, in part, not working on the website...buttons across the top. Internal hyperlinks are not working in Firefox, whereas they do in IE. There are other hyperlinks on that page, not attached to a button, that are working. (Buttons on other pages in the website are working. It is just this one page defualt.htm that has the problem.) The program used for the website is Microsoft Expression Web first version upgrade to MS Front Page.

The row of blue buttons? For some strange reason, MS Expression Web is superimposing a blank table in front of the table that contains those buttons. IE allows you to click through a transparent element but Firefox does not, so you end up clicking the useless blank table.

In your editor, switch to the HTML view and search for layer47. It is a <div> element that contains an image. It is followed by a <table> that has the same number of cells as the table with the buttons, but in this table all the cells all blank. Delete this table, save, and test again.
