Firefox, on my system, has some problems showing some websites correctly. For instance: http://www.hdmi.org/ . When I hold the mouse pointer over the "Manufacturers" text in the top part of the screen, a dropdown menu appears, but most of the dropdown menu is behind the panel that is below the "Manufacturers" text, so not visible. Also this panel should contain a picture, but remains blank (white) in Firefox. I see this same behaviour on several websites. Konqueror shows this website correctly. Also Firefox on windows has no problems showing this website correctly.

When I first checked the site, it was ok, but then I realized that I had flashblock running, so I clicked the flash and then I ran into the same problem you had. So, it's not so much Firefox as it is Flash & Firefox. The question is, which one is actually at fault?

Vista with IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.15 show it properly.

Who in there right mind would want to run Vista!

Hoi Wilfred,

(Toch maar in het engels: :-)) It's a bug related to flash. The flash object stays on top, so the menu disappears behind it. I don't have a solution unfortunately.

By using FlashBlock, you gain control over which Flash animations are loaded and displayed / activated. I recommend it highly. Additionally, it prevents this layering bug, though not, of course, when you do activate the Flash on this page.

Groeten, André

What I would like to know is, if others see the same behaviour of Firefox, so it's a bug, or that it is something specific to my configuration? And if the latter is the case: how do I fix this?

I do not see this (openSuSE v10.3 x64). Maybe I'm not looking at the same sites as you are. It would have been well to mention one or two sites on which the behavior is manifested.
