As the person attempted to report in bug ID 250368.. When viewing a google
adsense ad on a page if you put your cursor over it and use your mouse wheele to
scroll up and down the ad will kind of "wobble" up and down.

It works fine in every other browser. 

If you expand the height of the ad by 6 px it does not wobble anymore however
your not allowed to modify the adsense code and if your using a background other
then white it shows a white line on the bottom of the ad.

It appears to be a problem with firefox not the adsence code.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit a web page with adsence on it.
2. place your mouse cursor over the ad.
3. use your scroll wheele to scroll up and down.

Actual Results:  
The ad moved up and down slightly.

Expected Results:  
Nothing should have happend.

Everyone I have talked to who uses firefox has this problem.

So if you knew this was a duplicate of bug 250368, exactly why did you file a
new bug?

Because I do not think it really is a duplicate bug. I *THINK* that is what they
were trying to report, but I am not 100% sure.. if its a duplicate fine, mark it
as that and be done with that and be done with it. I pointed to that because it
kind of described the same problem. I'm sorry I am not a technical person when
it comes to this stuff, I don't know about iframes etc, which the other person
mentioned so for all I know it is unreleated.

WFM, I don't have any problems with scrolling with my mouse-wheel over
advertisements, although this same behavior was reported by another user in IRC
with a different URL.  Seeing as the URL provided previously on this bug no
longerr had Google ads displays, I have changed the URL.  I don't believe this
is a dupe of bug 250368.  Bug 250368 describes a seperate issue, specifically
that the iframe isn't rendering correctly, that the ad is cut off by the height
restrictions on the iframe.  While that /could/ possibly create some weird
scrolling effect, if the height were cut off, I am unable to reproduce it.

According to several people in IRC, this reproduces on 1.0.2 but not on trunk,
going to mark this WFM.
