Hello Roland. I have added the site to the list at IE-Only.com

With Flashblock installed, you can see the menus because they are
under the now-transparent flash. Howeve, they cannot be clicked on
because clicking activates the flash.

The problem is with the website, not with Firefox. The website
maintainer must fix the Z-index for Mozilla browsers. You should write
to him and make him aware of the mistake. Don't be intimidated about
writing to a "big website" asking them to change. Often, these
requests are granted, as it is most certainly in the site's interest
to help you.

Whenever you come across these usablility issues in Firefox, don't
hesitate to write to me, so that I can add them to IE-Only. The site
is not live yet, but I am active in promoting web standards compliance
and working with webmasters to publish valid code.
