URL: http://www.politico.com/
Browser / Version: Firefox 53.0
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.12
Problem type: Something else - I'll add details below

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to: http://www.politico.com/
2. Try to click articles headlines

Expected Behavior: Go to the article

Actual Behavior: Nothing. We stay on the home page. The cursor doesn't change to the usual shape.

If I inspect element on one of the first articles titles, the inspector shows me the fieldset element which is far below into the DOM and the page layout.

Like if there was a giant overlay on the page blocking the clicks.

I made sure that dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled;0

The fieldset has a position: relative that if I comment out will fix the issue.

.simple-signup fieldset {
	/* position: relative; */
}

and if I put it back reproduce the issue.
