The advertisements do not load properly with java script and java enabled. I
have to shut them off.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.just log on to msnbc.com or their business site and the ads will not load properly
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
shut off java and java script for this site and all works well 

Expected Results:  
load properly because some sites will not work without java and you will have to
restart it again for another site

This is a recent change, they just changed the site to a new format.

Same problem on 
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050725

for this website : 

http://www.wanadoo.fr/bin/frame.cgi?service=thematique&u=http://sports.wanadoo.fr

the menu on top (football - F1 - tennis ...) is enabled while javascript load,
but after loading nothing happen when cliking on the links. If I uncheck
javascript case in the Firefox preferences I can navigate with these links.

I've found this the case in javascript advertisements on cnn.com.  For example, if an ad is on the right side of the page, the image of that ad will flicker on the left side.  It's rather annoying.  I didn't seem to have that problem w/Nutscape (Netscape) and Internet Exploiter (Explorer).

Are any of you seeing this with Firefox 2.0.0.3 using a new profile? I don't see this issue using any of the links in this bug.

Closing as WORKSFORME. I'm not seeing any issue with any of the links in this bug as I said in comment 4.
