I have been researching another problem (about which in another post) and noticed the following:

If I browse to

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/

and follow links to the one-web-page manual @

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html

attempting to follow any links from the "Short Table of Contents" fails. E.g., the URI for the link with text='2 Using Parted' is

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#toc-Using-Parted-1

Clicking on that fails to move my browser (currently Firefox version=48.0, up-to-date on Debian 8) to the desired section. However, if I manually enter the following text in my browser

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#Using-Parted

I navigate appropriately. Note similar problem applies to the other links, e.g.,

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#toc-Introduction-1

fails, but

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#Introduction

works.
