I'm not even sure this is a Firefox issue; on Epicurious.com there is an option to add a recipe to your recipe box. I've used it many times and it always worked, but since I upgraded to the newest Firefox I click on that link and the window at the bottom of the screen says "javascript:void(0); - and nothing happens. I'm using Windows XP pro.

javascript:void(0); in a link is usually a placeholder for an onclick action that is done by clicking the link.
It is possible that the onclick JavaScript isn't compatible with Firefox 5 and needs updating.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Thanks, cor-el. You've heard the expression "too soon old, too late smart". That's how I feel right now. I went to epicurious by way of IE rather than Firefox and all worked fine. So who do you think needs to make the change - Epicurious.com or Mozilla? Thanks again.
