Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I see this in both Windows (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5) and Linux (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070718 Fedora/2.0.0.5-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.5).

The website listed in the initial bug report is the first time I have seen this in Windows. I have seen it many times in Linux with sites that work fine in Windows. Here are a couple:

The menu bar is along the top (how-to/gear/locations/etc). The menus are completely hidden by the flash.

The menu bar is along the right side (vehicles/customizations/promotions/etc). The menus are only partly hidden, so they can be accessed, but most of them are not visible enough to read.

This is indeed a case of a missing wmode="transparent". (It's present as a <param> inside the <object> for IE, but not as an attribute on the <embed> which gets presented for non-IE browsers.)
