[drupal-support] Firefox display problem in BlueMarine Theme

[Sohodojo Jim]

Skip,

    This is almost certainly the Google Ads block at the top of this 
page. Comment that out for a test, redisplay the page and it will almost 
certainly squish down to the next widest thing on the page.

    One way to spot these trouble spots is to widen the page as much as 
possible so the horizontal scroll bar disappears, then grab the right 
window edge and drag the window narrower. When the horizontal scroll bar 
pops up, look at the page and see what block/link/image has stopped 
adjusting itself to the changing window size. Then temporarily comment 
out or delete the suspect item and redisplay the page.

    In some cases, there are things you can do to adjust this behavior. 
In other cases, such as an image of a certain size, you can't do much 
but at least you know who the culprit is.

    In this case, it appears that the Google Ads block of four items is 
not coded to allow wrapping. A quick look at your page code shows that 
you have:

google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";

    So the minimum width for this block is 728 pixels. Experiment with 
different values, especially try a percentage width and leave out the 
google_ad_format value if it won't take percentage values.
