Menus not working in Firefox?

I run a fan website and I'm currently having a problem with the navigation menu in one section.
The section is PHP/MySQL based (the other parts of the site are static HTML at the moment) and can be found here: http://www.selenayhaven.com/reviews/ It's the green left-hand navigation side bar that has problems reported. It uses unordered lists and CSS to acheive the 'button' appearance, following a tutorial from A List Apart. It works absolutely fine on all the instances of Firefox, Opera and IE that I've tested it on and other users report that it works in Safari. However, one user reports that the menu doesn't work when she clicks on it and I honestly cannot work out why.
Menus in the rest of the site (e.g. http://www.selenayhaven.com/gate/index.html) were constructed slightly differently (no lists) and my user has no problem with them. I decided to do them differently when I set up the database area because I thought it would be better from an accessibility POV - how wrong I was, apparently!
My query is whether anyone else using Firefox cannot use the problem navigation menu and whether anyone can suggest how I might be able to fix it. I'm about to start sorting out the site to accommodate IE7, so I want to make sure that I'm starting with a site that works properly before making yet more changes. My problem user has tested the site in both Firefox 1.5 and 2.0.
