Layout "shooting" off edge of monitor

Hello

As soon as I get into individual posts on any forum , the layout starts to extend beyond the frame of my computer screen.
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using Firefox on a Mac,
Thanks for any replies

It's the advertisements.

Sorry FT/IB. While I believe in ad supported models, you picked the wrong week (when UA introduced Unobtainable Domestic Upgrades), to introduce this bug. So I installed the firefox plug in Adblock Plus (firefox makes is easy to install ... just go to Tools -> Add Ons -> Get Add oNs and I found it first on the list).

Me too

Yeah, same problem here in recent days. Hello? FT IT? Anyone doing anything about this? Your site is becoming pretty useless.

Definitely the ads causing most of this. Most of the ads on my pages look like this:

I will look into this first thing in the morning. I'm not around a computer right now. Sorry.

Can anyone give me a screen shot?

Hello.

Well I just installed Adblock Plus and for me, unfortunately, the problem still exists

Now I'm no computer expert so I could have missed something. However the little "Adblock Plus" icon is up in my tool bar , so I think its installed.
Any other ideas?

Bye,

This is REALLY annoying.

Is there a way to stop FT pages from growing until they don't fit on my screen?

I posted about this a couple of days ago on another thread, read about it, but found no solution. It really takes the fun out of things.
