[Wikia-l] Ads intruding on sidebar

[Christian Williams]

I often see strange ad placements with Firefox and with the Firebug  
extension enabled. It has something to do with their parser not  
handling js content properly. There is an open bug in Firebug's bug  
tracker for this issue. If you use Firefox+Firebug (particularly on a  
Mac), maybe try disabling Firebug?
