hyperlink isn't working in mac firefox browser

I am facing an issue on my site. On my site, the a tag text hyperlink isn't working in mac Firefox browser (whether you are giving target blank or not with the a tag, the issue is remain same). But its work fine in other mac browser like chrome, safari or opera. In windows machine, the link is working fine in all browsers. But its not working in mac Firefox. When there is an image link with the a tag, that time the link is working fine. But when the link is with a text, then its not working in mac Firefox browser. I really don't know whether anyone have encountered similar kind of situation before or not. It would be a great help for me if someone can give me an idea how to sort this out.

The code is like the following:

<p>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/mts">
<img src="/images/mtss/icon_facebook.png">
</a>
Click
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/mts">here</a>
to follow mts on Facebook
</p>

In the above code, the image is get hyperlinked in all the browser but the text "here" is hyperlinked all the browsers except mac Firefox browser.

This might be something to do with the configuration settings of Firefox in the problematic system

  1. Open Firefox
  2. In the URL, type about:config
  3. If presented with a warning, click the button and proceed to next page
  4. In the search text box on top, type 'dom.popup_allowed_events'. In the value column, make sure that it has following events 'change click dblclick mouseup reset submit touchend'
  5. Close the browser and try your code

If the click event is not allowed to open a popup (i.e. _blank), it would be captured by Firefox as a popup and you'd see that yellow bar on top
