Bug Description

Browser: Firefox beta 3.0b5 (in hardy)
1. Go to launchpad answers, and create a new question.
2. At the step where "These FAQs seems similar to your question. Take a look at them, you may find your answer in one these. " appears (use keywords that will trigger this if needed), try clicking one of the results. (this is at the URL https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion)
3. Nothing happens.

To reproduce using sample data:
1. Open http://answers.launchpad.dev/firefox/+addquestion
2. Fill in summary: "keyboard shortcut" and click "Continue"
What happens:
Two FAQs are listed:
    * What's the keyboard shortcut for [random feature]?
    * How do I troubleshoot problems with extensions/themes?
Both linked to: http://answers.launchpad.dev/firefox/+addquestion#

What should happen: The links should be to the proper FAQ

From a duplicate that I filed (and just linked here now that I found this bug):

The HTML looks like this:
          <li title="If a team owner has gone missing, the team can be reassigned by a Launchpad administrator. To confirm that the owner is actually missing and that the proposed owner is a good choice, you should have a separate team member also vouch for your request.

In the case of Ubuntu-related teams, you should arrange for Jono ..."><a
    href="#" here="/launchpad/+faq/21">My team owner has disappeared. Can the team be reassigned to me?</a>
          </li>

As you can see, the proper href is listed as a "here" attribute. I'm not sure if there's supposed to be Javascript magic to deal with that or if it's just set in the wrong attribute.

Just wanted to post a "Me too" on Ubuntu 8.04 upgraded-in-place from 7.10 using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 . The FAQ links appear as Richard mentioned, in the 'here' attribute. So you can find the address, but those who do not think to look at the source are unlikely to know where the FAQ actually is.

My reproduction steps are the same as (Bryan's) OP's, except the summary I entered was: does the libdb distribution create links to libdb.so .
