image of problem Some, but not all, pages browsed throw up a "hamburger" menu, top left of the window. (the link above should link you to a screenshot taken this morning in Firefox 142.0.1 (64) running on Win11.)

The menu button floats eternally over the text in that top-left corner. This irritates me because I read text, and am frustrated by the browser covering readable text.

I can't remember ever (20+ years) needing the Table Of Contents of a web page. I use Mozilla Firefox's excellent Edit, Find if I want to jump directly to a key word.

Anyone who can suggest a perpetual dismissal of this menu button will earn my lifelong admiration!

I can deal with Settings, About:Config, and even RegEdit. Thanks, Chris

Hi,

Looks like Wikipedia is about to change that... The first time I tried to reproduce, I got the same layout as in your screenshot, but after the second time, the button just went to the top pane and stopped floating.

If it doesn't change for you though, you can add an ad-blocking extension to Firefox (such as uBlock Origin or AdGuard AdBlocker) and block exactly that element (they have such a feature).
