This is either a layout problem or a problem with the site (evangelism then).
-> Browser, Layout

[Christian Hamacher]

I'm seeing this as well (Linux, current CVS trunk build)

Confirming, to get it on radar and determine whether it's evang or layout

This is evangelism.

They need to set the wmode as suggested by Boris Zbarsky in bug 223777.

Changing to evangelism, and setting Hardware/OS to all.

Same here Firefox 1.0.7 with Flash 7.0 r25 under Linux.

I have this problem too, but oddly it happens only on my Linux based machines. I'm running Firefox 1.0.7 on CentOS 4.2 and FC4. Some sites where the flash objects overlap the menus:
http://www.bovespa.com.br (upper menus open under chart flash)
http://www.natura.com.br (left menus open under flash add)
http://ri.cyrelabrazilrealty.com.br/ (left menus open under flash add)

These same sites work OK when running FX 1.0.7 on Windows 2000.

That is bug 137189

Possibly related to bug #283856 ? 

I am working on a site that uses flash and I have the same problem. I've tried everything imaginable with CSS positioning and still, nothing. Flash content stays ALWAYS ON TOP.

See this URL :
http://www.srr.ro/test.htm

I have created a test page based on our website. The snow effect is a simple javascript which uses DIV elements with a IMG in them, positioned absolute via CSS. 

Other styles do not use z-index (so the default is in effect).

Regardless of the z-index property for the DIV elements created by this javascript, the snowflakes stay BEHIND the flash content. 

See this URL :
http://www.srr.ro/test2.htm

Here there is no related javascript, just a DIV element positioned absolute, with CSS, z-index:1. (any positive value at that). 

I will add an attachement to illustrate how my Firefox renders this.
