I found the issue. The web page is set up so that if you move down the page, the player stays visible. Contact the website support about this.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

I looked for updates and I have the latest graphics driver already installed.

(Important note - I have the Adobe Flash plugin set to "Ask to Activate") Three times I tried starting Firefox in safe mode and each time, the "tap here to activate plugin" window jumps to lower-right corner as soon as I scroll down >= 1 page length. When I scroll vertically back to top, the "tap here to activate plugin" window jumps back to the original (and correct) position.
