355541 - Different sized Iframe ads are getting switched in their positions in Firefox 1.5

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 289344

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[srabanti.bhowmik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

We had initially noticed this problem with FF 1.0 which had been reported as a bug. We have been able to reproduce the problem again now with FF 1.5. If there are Iframe ads being served on the page, quite frequently we have seen ads show up in the wrong positions. eg. if there is a 160x600 skyscraper ad scheduled to the Right positon, it will show up in the 728x90 banner position on the top of the page. This causes the ad to get cut off and only part of it shows up. 

An example URL is,

http://health.howstuffworks.com/



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up the above URL within FF 1.5
2. Look for Flash or Iframe tags.
3. Refresh until you get the mis-sized ad show up.

Actual Results:  
I was able to get a banner or roadblock ad in the right skyscraper position. So, the ad looks like it is cutoff.

Expected Results:  
The ads should not get swapped. The ad delivery should resolve to the correct position.
