Just one of those "Browser Things"?
 

I have Mozilla, IE6, NS, and Opera. I sometimes switch between them, but mainly use IE6. It and NS have this issue that ossurs on some web pages that I cant figure out. There is nothing in the configuration to adjust it. THe problem is:

Certain aspects of certain sites get hidden behind images or ads. ADs that dont have a close option to them.

For instance a navigation format with the links on the top and hovering over a link produces a drop down menu. Half the menu is covered by another element making it impossible to even navigate to the covered links.

Does anyone have any info or fix for this problem, or even experienced it?

are there any sites in particular that do this for you? if so, post the links. it could be you have adware/spyware installed.

I noticed that most of them are flash based advertisement, perhaps you could disable it flash?

With Mozilla and Firebird, you can use the extension "Flash Click to View", which initially blocks all Flash, but you can click on it to view (duh).

It happend at http://www.speedguide.net/index.php

but oddly its not doing it now. I see it mostly when a layer of words is somehow mixed over another set making it difficult to read.

Firebird? How is that?

Looks fine to me. Im running Firebird.

Personally, I like it even more than Mozilla. Give it a shot.

I have seen some pages that, due to incredbily poor and standards incompliant design have had overlapping images in Moz, but not in IE. But its their own damn fault if they cant code it right, Ill just go somewhere else.
