This site is a great website [burnnotice.djmed.net] which worked until about two weeks ago (after a FF update?); but now every time I navigate to it the first time, it comes up displayed all wrong. All I have to do is click the refresh button and it displays correctly. If I hit refresh it displays correctly. Then if I click through to a secondary page, and return to home before it finishes loading graphics - it displays incorrectly again. But eventually (it seems related to completing all graphic downloads, but maybe not) Firefox displays it correctly all the time.

IE explorer 8 has no problem with it, and FF will display it correctly after a refresh. The site seems to use a position:relative on the < ul > nav list with position:absolute and opacity:0 on embedded < div >'s which are revealed with opacity:1 on hover. FF seems to parse the whole flow incorectly the first time in the site, then parses it correctly after a refresh... WHAT GIVES?

I have my machine set to start in "private browsing" but it does accept cookies. That, however, doesn't seem to have any correlation to the issue.

There are tonnes of possibilities and many websites with suggestions. I tried all sorts of these option (clear cache, clear cookies, anti-virus changes, page style options etc) with no success until eventually I accidentally changed my character encoding autodetect (firefox 6) from "off" to "universal" and everything is fine.
