I have the same problem with FF 3.6.13, Jquery 1.5.0 delivered from the jquery CDN and jqueryui 1.8.9.

Extremely oddly, its only happening on SOME computers with the same version of firefox, with caches cleared.

This fix worked for me though. i.e.

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
  dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
  changeMonth: true,
  changeYear: true,
  numberOfMonths: 2,
  showButtonPanel: true,
  onSelect: function() {
    $(".ui-datepicker a").removeAttr("href");
  }
});

The only issue is it now ignores the .change event. I fixed this by adding $(this).change():

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
  dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
  changeMonth: true,
  changeYear: true,
  numberOfMonths: 2,
  showButtonPanel: true,
  onSelect: function() {
    $(".ui-datepicker a").removeAttr("href");
    $(this).change();
  }
});

$(".date_unix").datepicker({
  dateFormat: "@",
  changeMonth: true,
  changeYear: true,
  numberOfMonths: 2,
  showButtonPanel: true,
  onSelect: function() {
    $(".ui-datepicker a").removeAttr("href");
    $(this).change();
  }
});
