click 'Advanced'.

5. In the 'Edit File Type' dialog box, click 'Edit'.

Sometimes navbar links are being converted to images and thus killing the links in FF. In such case, try redesigning your navbar without the objects and layering. Start with just a plain text box with no fill or other formatting at all and test that. Then you can try adding formatting that you want to use, one step at a time, testing as you go. That's really the only way to find what will work and what won't. The basic problem is Publisher chokes on some print formatting when it converts it to html, and frequently the result is an image where you intended text.

You can test to see if text has been converted into an image by trying to select it. If you can't, then its an image.

You can test your pages in FF by directing your html output to a folder on your computer, open the .htm files with FF.
