Hi,
A direct link for finding the issue faster:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6948
I tested the nightly build with Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows and fix seems to be OK and the active area is only the check box.
However, an opposite issue that prevents changing the status of some check boxes with Firefox is still there
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6036
This can be tested with the “img_sample2” store at http://localhost:8080/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.data.store.CoverageStoreEditPage&storeName=img_sample2&wsName=nurc
Same issue with the “Enabled” and “Use HTTP connection pooling” boxes in the WMS store page. This is easy to test by starting to create a new WMS store from http://localhost:8080/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.data.store.WMSStoreNewPage
I found some time ago that the generated html page in the user interface has some extra and if I removed that with Firebug the check box started to listen to me. This is reported in this mail
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.geoserver.devel/28492
Because of this issue these settings can’t be edited at all with Firefox. IE 10 is OK.

Quick request from the devel list for help testing the nightly build for an interesting fix!
- GEOS-6948 GeoServer UI accepts check box clicks outside the boxes
To test please download an appropriate release from http://geoserver.org/release/master/ and reply to this email.
This change applies to any and all configuration screens that have a checkbox. They should now only respond when the checkbox is clicked (and not the nearby label).
Thanks to Eva Shon (from Boundless New York) addressing this long standing issue.
