It appears to be working just fine with me, so there might be something wrong with you Firefox installation. You might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling it, or check your extensions.

Just to add to this, when reinstalling it, right-click the installer, and run it as administrator. Or, turn off UAC, reboot, and reinstall it.

I have skype extension could it be it ?

You can check that by disabling the extension. Also, I'd close all tabs, empty cache and delete cookies and restart Firefox.

As for what the page looks here in Firefox, I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but if I click the drop-down menu with the date, I do get a small calendar that covers two weeks, from Wednesday the 14th to Wednesday the 28th.

I don't know, man, I opened the page in Firefox 3.6.3, Opera 10.51 and Internet Explorer 8 and compared the rendering and functionality. I could see dates and change time from the drop down list and by using the they left/right buttons in Firefox and overall in all browsers all looked and functioned pretty much the same.

But if deleting cache and cookies and disabling addons (and maybe reinstalling Firefox) doesn't work for you, I can't remember anything else to try.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so here's something you could do. Windows 7 has a Snipping Tool; should be right off the Start menu. You can use that to take a screen shot of what it looks like, and post that in here.

One thing you could try is to create a new profile for Firefox. Just follow the steps on THIS page. Be sure to look at THIS page too as it describes how to find your old profile so that you can import your bookmarks into the new one.

Another thing to try is to run Firefox in Safe Mode, which you can get to via the Start menu (Start | All Programs | Mozilla Firefox | Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode) ). With this mode no plugins, themes, extensions... nothing is run, just Firefox.
