Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the homepage referenced
2. move the cursor over any of the drop-down menu item (Vehicles, Shopping, etc.)
3.

It looks like this is because of the Flash on the page.

Works great here.

Reporter, are you on an Intel Mac? I know Wevah is ;)

Seems unlikely to be an Intel iMac, unless it's one of those rare PPC Intel iMacs.

I'm seeing this too, unless I remove the flash from the page.

Oh, woops, I missed that in the UA string ;)

Lemme try it with a clean profile. I'm not doing anything to block Flash that I know of, but maybe they're using an ad-server or something to serve it up.

OK, the "Shopping" drop-down drops down fine. The rest of them are a little screwy, and all of them seem to be screwy if you mouse out of the menu trigger area and try to select a menu item.

This sounds a lot like what's described in bug 333014 (although I can't repro that).

The new Yahoo site: http://tech.yahoo.com/ has similar problems with the drop down menu under 'products'.
I mentioned it, as that is a highly visible one and bound to be noticed.

(via a mailing list, I saw screenshots from that site on Linux//FF 1.5.0.2 with a similar problem).

smfr explains, in quite technical terms, what's going on here in bug 334321
