IE8 and Chrome will both process this page without causing a second firing of the controller action. So I think I can rule out all of the image/href/css/js ideas. It’s the same page.
I don’t know if the second request is actually coming from FF. I have seen one other person post a problem where they verified that the issue seems to be within the web server. Meaning no second request is made by the browser.

I had a similar problem when I tried to have a partial view with an ajax form. I had to move the ajax form out of the partial view and on to the main page to get the double calls to the controller action to go away.
