browser oddities
I'm having a couple of different problems with my web browser.
I haven't been able to find any mention of solutions, so any help
or pointers would be welcome.
1. Missing "hide left bar" arrow in Google maps.
-------------------------------------------------
In google maps, there's supposed to be a little blue arrow on the left
edge of the map, between the map pane and the area to left with search
results. Clicking on the arrow is supposed to expand the map to fill
the whole window.
This used to appear in firefox, but a few months ago after an upgrade,
it's no longer there. So there's no way to hide that left bar and get
a larger map.
I've tried other browsers. Mozilla and Konqueror have the same
problem. In Opera, the arrow appears and works as it should.
2. Flash image obscuring text.
-------------------------------
I've recently started seeing web pages using flash, in which some
flash image obscures text. In once case, there was a navigation bar
overlapping the pages's text, which couldn't be made to go away. In
another case, a popup menu popped up _behind_ a flash image, making
it impossible to see or click on the menu entries.
This same problem occurs in mozilla (not surprisingly), but not in
konqueror.
Any suggestions?
Here are the browser versions I'm using:
