User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071105 (CK-IBM) Firefox/2.0.0.9

I saw the source code from that site and looks like Firefox gives higher priority to <object> tags than div and layers. This is not a good idea as most sites uses div based menus and a flash right behind it. But as flash movies has higher priority than div's, the menu always shows behind it. Could you please take a look at this. Many thanks.

other sites with the same problem:

http://www.claro.com.br/portal/home.do?method=showHome&idlocal=58

or http://www.claro.com.br and choose option Sao Paulo DDD 11 in the drop down list

* If W3 standard is to give object tags, generally flash movies, higher priority than div's, so my suggestion here is to accommodate both rules in Firefox. Thanks in advance.
