Amazon.com - opaque white banner at top of page appears
At Amazon.com, an opaque white banner at top of some - not all - web page appears that I can't seem to get rid of; Anyone else run into this? It may be something about Amazon's site that causing it...
Attached is a screen shot of "Amazon.com: Dave Brubeck - At Storyville 1954" [ http://www.amazon.com/At-Storyville-1954-Dave-Brubeck/dp/B000GDH8KG/ ] showing an example of the issue happening...

Hello Martin,
to me, on your screenshot, the banner doesn't look like something Amazon serves, but like a UI element of the browser, like a sheet with no text or controls in it. Weird.
When I load your example page, however, I don't see this wite banner. Do you get this in Safari, too? Do you get this with a fresh Firefox profile?

It doesn't happen in Safari nor in any other web browser, but I think I've found the cause:
User Scripts: Linterna Magica 0.0.13-2
While I have this installed under Firefox on another machine (where I was also testing out how well it it works) and it doesn't cause this issue with amazon.com, it appears that at least under TenFourFox 17.0.5 under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC, Linterna Magica 0.0.13-2 for Greasemonkey by Ivaylo Valkov causes a problem with amazon.com, so I've disabled it in Add-ons Manager.
I'd previously gone through trying disabling each installed extension in Add-ons Manager one at a time and rebooting, and was about to do the same with the Appearance persona I had activated, but hadn't looked under User Scripts (moral of the story: always check your Greasemonkey scripts).
Thanks also for your quick reply, Chris - TenFourFox support staff's quick responses put many other sites' support staff to shame, including in terms of how timely they are :)

Thanks, glad to be of help. I use Greasemonkey as well, and yes, it can do weird things :-) I guess you could try to edit the script yourself if you're experienced, or ask Ivaylo Valkov for assistance if you absolutely need this script.
