I wouldn't go pestering the people at Adobe just yet. ;)

The site uses the notoriously buggy mm_menu Javascript menus. If you
mouse over the exposed corner of the "Contact Us" menu and go after the
selections you might see other weirdness too, and if you manage to
actually navigate the site a bit you'll find that some of their menu
selections are blocked by Firefox and Opera as popups. At least they
are for me.

There's something like 1000 lines of spaghetti in mm_menu IIRC, so I
won't even begin to try and debug what's actually wrong with this
particular implementation. Suffice to say it's "IE-Centric junk". If
you want it fixed, contact coolmaster.com administration and politely
ask them to extricate their craniums from their posteriors. ;)
