Mouse cursor on a website doesn't pop up a box like it should. How can I fix this? Works in other browsers. Help?

more options

I will upload a picture of the problem.

This first link shows the website working normally on internet explorer http://i60.tinypic.com/denq8g.png

The second link shows Firefox with the missing summary box on the website (written in blue) http://i57.tinypic.com/amcrox.png

Solutions I tried 1)disabled hardware acceleration on advance options 2)reinstalled Firefox, even reinstalled difference versions of Firefox 3)reinstalled older archives of flash player 4)asked to activate all plugins, turned off all extensions 5)tested in a different computer model: Inspiron N4010 and Acer Aspire 5551 2805

Anyways let me know if you have a solution to the problem, i.e., why the mouse cursor pointing (not clicking) to a anime title on the anime website not pop ups the summary page of the anime.

I'm not sure why the box isn't appearing. When I mouse over, Firefox builds the box, but for some reason it never becomes visible. ??

Yeah I don't even get the box. Hmm, this is a strange bug...
