I just tested it in Firefox, and it works fine for me.

Absolutely impossible. This is a JavaScript solution, not a CSS
solution. CSS cannot react to user events like the clicks and it
cannot change the way the page looks. CSS is static, and for the
dynamics on this page you need JavaScript.
CSS is not a substitute for JavaScript, nor vice versa. If you want
this kind of solution, use JavaScript.
