I have a recurring problem when using Facebook with Firefox, and it only seems to occur in Firefox.
When clicking links, the URL link becomes a /sub-directory link (if you're with me) pasted at the end of the current page URL.
For example, if I'm on http://www.facebook.com/joe.bloggs and want to view another profile by clicking a link, the page goes to http://www.facebook.com/[b]joe.bloggs#/ ... 590&ref=mf[/b] which loads a blank page, where it should link to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=753848590&ref=mf
The only way around this is to open links in a new tab, or delete the unneccesary/obsolete information in the URL.
Is anyone else having this problem? Have you found a solution? Or are there add-ons that can resolve this?

Facebook does the same "#/(subdirectory) on the end of the URL" thing that you describe for me, too, but it's always worked fine.
(I'm running Firefox 3.5.2 on XP SP3, but with no addons except McAfee SiteAdvisor, in case that helps.)
