Peter,
I did not say you blocked anything. I said, Firefox blocks
redirection by default. Totally different things. Please, read my
first reply again. You'll find it contains the answer to your problem.
I am able to activate every single link on that page by following the
steps detailed in my first reply.
Read it again and if you're still having issues come back to us.

anything and that is the only site I can't get to work with Firefox
which is my default browser.

I am able to activate the links on that page. In fact I spent a few
minutes listening to some nice 60s music by clicking on the winamp link.
Firefox is by default configured to block links which redirect you
to another link. the playlist link is one such link. On these
occasions Window eyes reads out the appropriate message immediately
after activating the link. Of course, it's easy to accidentally
interrupt the message by pressing another key.
To find out for sure if the page has been blocked do the following:
on your numeric keypad
1. press key 1 to move the mouse to the bottom left corner of the
browser window.
2. Press key 2 to move up a line where you might encounter the word "Done".
3. Press key 2 once more to go up a line where you might find the
following message:
"Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to
another page. Allow"
At this point you have two options:
4A. The insert 6 hotkey on the numeric keypad is for moving the
mouse pointer to the next word.
Press insert 6 repeatedly until you reach the word allow.
5a. press insert slash (on the numpad) for a single left click over
the word allow.
Alternatively:
4b. Press alt a to allow.
The reason I've given you two options is because the first allows
the redirection and the page refreshes successfully. The second
option may seem straightforward but the page doesn't refresh
immediately. In fact, you'd have to do a bit of fiddling around to
get to the right point in the browser window before activating
browse mode. You could try that and the trick is to use the tab key
until you get past the tab control.
Last but by no means least, I should think very carefully before
allowing for a redirection. Do it if you're 100 percent sure that
the site is kosher. I thought I'd get that in in case someone
accuses me of leading them to some porno site.
let us know how you get on.
