Microsoft is currently running a HotMail banner ad campaign that
consistently breaks FireFox when the ads are loaded, and appears to be
related to the installation of Greasemonkey (GM must be enabled).

See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/650354

The result is jumbled JavaScript code overlaying the page top, forcing
the page content well below the page fold, leading the user to believe
the page itself is broken and therefore cannot be read.

This anomaly appears to be directly related to the JavaScript
associated with the Microsoft HotMail banner ad campaign not playing
nice with Greasemonkey (or vice versa).

The following are links to a few pages that contain the offending MS
ads -- whether or not the MS HotMail banner ad appears with every page
load, I don't know:

I discovered that if I disable GM and reload the offending pages, the
pages then render correctly.  Re-enabling GM and reloading the pages
again causes the error to return.

FF Is my primary browser, OS is Win 7 64-bit, and I have all latest
updates for all apps and drivers.
