Linkedin, Firefox and weird behaviour

Since a few weeks I am seeing this weird behaviour on Linkedin.com. When you are on the homepage (have not verified other pages yet) and you click on the url field of Firefox to go to Xing.com (maybe other url’s work too) you will not end up on Xing but on a Linkedin searchresult page.

This is a strange behaviour. It’s not clear to me (have not looked at the js sources Linkedin uses) if this is intended or some kind of problem with Firefox on Mac OSX Tiger. It is annoying.

Anyone else able to reproduce this kind of behaviour?

Linkedin connections

Today I found another person not sharing her connections in Linkedin. Search my blog on linkedin and you will see the earlier discussion about this.

This brings me to the positive sites of Xing again. I wish Linkedin would allow people to disclose information per user like Xing does. It would allow me in this case to simply hide all my contacts for this specific user.
