Can not reproduce on Firefox release or Nightly. Tested this on Chrome too, even when ads don't show up the sharing menu works fine.

Curious why the ads don't always show up, even in ETP standard. The sharing menu issue seems like a site bug where they don't take into account variable height of the header. I don't think there is much we can do from our side.

Since nightly and release are affected, beta will likely be affected too.

We have seem similar issues that prove to be just temporary glitches. Most likely that is the case here, but just wanted to be on the safe side. Thanks.
