Be aware that since before 2002.02.07.xxxx or somewhere around then, there 
mozilla and ie handled some of the dhtml differently and html writers took care 
of that in the code. Now in more recent builds ie and mozilla are handling it 
similarly and you don't need special handling. So if Iomega had optimized their 
menu in order to support mozilla properly back then, and haven't changed it 
back, they do have a problem now because of that.

I noticed it on one of our sites the other day and have troubled with it since 
feb7th just about, but since it actually got fixed, I didn't bother file a bug.

Can't confirm the bug, though I experience the same problem in build 
2002040103win32, because that mozilla might me right on track, and 
iomega.com/nas not.

Currently the nav menus are layers-based (!!) and don't work in Mozilla at all
(tested 20030923 trunk on WinXP).

Hovering words in the "drives NAS media software" bar should open a pull-down
menu (it does in IE6). In Mozilla it does not, since Mozilla is recognized as
the old Netscape 4.

Page looks the same in both IE and Moz, no rendering issues that I can see in
either.

Closing.

It looks the same, but it DOES NOT work. See comment 11. Try hovering items in
the black menu (top of the page). Also, check error messages in JS Console.

(tested: Firefox 0.9.1).

Additionally in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040723 
(the one with document.all support from bug 248549) there are wrong colors (this
seems to be a Mozilla bug, though).

Reopening, this bug shouldn't have been resolved.

Well, the page is still there, but the bug as described (menus squished to LHS) seems to be fixed. Looks like they've abandoned the whole DHTML menu thing as too web1.0 for words :)
