I confirm this bug, I have this problem also with older versions of Firefox and with all distro of ubuntu, 64 bit 32 bit, hardy and faiesty.

I don't think it is a firefox bug, because I have this problem also with other browsers.

Hello I am a User Interface developer. In at least two websites, I use wmode="transparent." Is there no way to fix the problem in Ubuntu?
I'm using Firefox for Ubuntu 8.0.4. It's just sad to see so many bugs. I don't know how to fix these bugs yet.

Firefox side of this should already be fixed
 affects ubuntu/firefox-3.0
 status fixreleased

adobe needs to implement the rest on their side ...

 affects ubuntu/flashplugin-nonfree

There is a dupe for this open against the flashplugin-nonfree package ...
pleaese mark it accordingly

 status incomplete
 tag likely-dup
