Aran Thanks for the reply. I removed the wmode param without any success. It's now real bare bones and there's not much else I can tweak. I've also posted this issue on the Mozilla Firefox boards. Fingers crossed. It's a real shame as this never happened in FF2 where I managed to get smooth navigation in sites with complex CSS, additional javascript and some pretty hefty swfs without any problems..
I will keep trying to find a solution. If anyone has one please provide a link to a working example (preferably commented, but not necessary). Many thanks.
