Using firefox, scrolling over a link does nothing, but using IE on the same link I see an .aspx file that I can open. How do I fix firefox?
Going to a state sponsored site I see a link (underlined and in blue), but scrolling over it while in Firefox does nothing. Clicking on the link also does nothing. Changing browsers to IE, I then go to the same site and scrolling over link changes cursor. Clicking on the link opens a new page. The link's address is an .aspx file. How can I fix Firefox to view this link.

When you position your mouse on the link, does the pointer change to the usual "finger"? If not, I suspect the author accidentally or intentionally placed a transparent obstruction in front of that part of the text. IE will let a click pass through an obstruction if it is transparent, but Firefox does not do that.
Sometimes you can work around this issue by displaying the page with no style. (View > Page Style > No Style)
Another possibility would be to try an add-on like Nuke Anything to remove the obstruction (assuming one is there). Nuke Anything Enhanced :: Add-ons for Firefox.
Do either of those help?
Thanks for the try, but no help. I tried removing the "style", but it did absolutely nothing. I did notice something odd. Going to the state site: http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/IRM00PRAES/PRASINDI.ASP?LicId=295&ProfNBR=3101 there is a link "Going to complaint", when I scroll over this it reacts normally and clicking allows me to open a new page, BUT, the page is not in the browser, rather it appears to be a new window floating over the browser. This window has no address, it appears to be a separate document rather then a part of the website. In this window document there is a link, underlined and in blue, under the heading "case number". There is no way to remove style from this window, and clicking in Firefox does nothing, while doing so in IE leads me to a PDF document. I am a neophyte computer user, but wonder if there is something additional needed so Firefox can handle the .aspx file.
There is a transparent object blocking the link in the pop-up window. If you install and enable Nuke Anything Enhanced (link above), you can right-click and remove that object to access the link. That's the easiest solution that comes to mind.

In the attached screen shot, there is an address bar, but it's purely for information, you can't edit it.

You do have an old Firefox 2.0.0.20 version on Windows 98, so you're lucky that Nuke Anything Enhanced supports your setup.
A quick fix on that page is this bookmarklet that you can paste in the location bar while that page is on display.
Press Enter to run the code.
javascript:void(document.getElementById('lblErrorMessage').style.display='none');
