Can we fix this?
I have XP and use Firefox as my internet browser. My problem used to be once in a while, now its like all the time. If you look at the pic below, you will everything is on the right and that is because right before the page is done loading, the threads and stuff will shift to the right, the top ad goes to the middle, but the 3G iPhone ad will stay on the left. Just something pretty annoying yet probably pretty simple to fix...

I noticed that a few times too, but it wasnt a consistent issue. I recently had to reformat my HD and reinstall XP. Ialso installed Firefox 3.0 and have not seen the problem since.

I have that exact same problem. It annoys me so much; you sit there like a fool thinking the page hasn't loaded yet, then when you scroll down, it's all at the bottom

Same here, happens to me all the time. I don't really mind it though.

Happens to me all the time. Could it be adblock or a greasemonkey script?

It's happened to me loads, although it is very annoying I consider it minor.

Hey guys and gals, I have found a way to fix that problem.
Download and install Firefox 3.0.
After installing open Firefox, and you will get a message " Do you want to make Firefox your Default Browser?" Mark "NO"
And thats all there is to it.
If this helps please press "thanks"

I've seen it before, and clean out of firefox, and then a fresh install worked wonders. Hasn't happened since...although it could have just been a miracle.

Happens to me on other web pages too, but on very rarely or never on MMi.
