It varies from ad to ad. But the amount is not relevant to this discussion. The ads are not going away.

Have I given any indication that I am not concerned?

Suggesting a change of tools, either at the server or at the client, is not a solution. Let's stick with facts and work towards isolating the problem.
For starters:
- the problem affects only Mozilla browsers
- the problam appears to be related to one ad and one ad only
- the problem is not a Javascript issue. The reason the problem does not occur when Javascript is disabled is because it is a Flash ad, which is not displayed when Javascript is disabled.
Can anyone correct or add to the above?
