Bug Description
The Adobe Flash plugin does not support the "wmode" option used by many websites.
As a result, all Flash is drawn on top of other content, often obscuring major parts of web pages and making it unusable.
*There is unfortunately nothing we can do.* If you want this fixed, vote for the bug on Adobe's bug tracker.

Test case:

Try to operate the menus at left or top. The boxes are obscured by the Flash content.
For more information on this mechanism, read http://

..probably can be done on Linux since it works on Windows, but dunno where to
start. Did 4.x have an implementation?
