I don't believe this to be a bug, but a behavior of the mozilla web browser in linux. AJAX divs, and the like, simply don't go over the flash plugin in z-index behavior because of the way in which the free flash plugin prints to the screen. I've read about this many times.
Here is a link that explains a work around for this: blog.marcoos. com/2006/ 07/21/html- div-above- a-flash- animation- on-linux- its-possible/
