The same page looks ok in IE and chrome and in firefox. however, after a few F5 the ads get mangled beyond recognition. I mean they show up one on top of each other.
any ideas why?

Nope, No idea why. But I've seen it before. Especially when changing or adding new ads. It has always been self healing to me in a few hours.

I have the same problem with Firefox, especially after changing ads. But, like Bddmed said, it usually clears up in an hour or so.

I've been having this for months and can't figure out how to fix it. I get javascripts mixed up, even the facebook like button mixes up with a piece of Adsense. So wierd

Yea, FF does something weird. I've noticed on pages where I use both link units and a 728 x 90, sometimes they get mixed up, and I'll get two link units, or two ad units. I've run it past AdSense several times, and they have no ideas. I'm convinced it's a Firefox issue, and probably one we just have to live with till someone figures it out.

Also in Firefox I recently saw on Statcounter at the top where the 728 x 90 leaderboard usually is and it served a 160 x 600 skyscraper!

1/2 problem solved (though there was something wrong with my programming) 1/2 problem still here: it seems that G is mixing the ads, or channels, serving the wrong kind of ad. I get link units mixed with text units too, but i also get text units mixed with text.

Sometimes other JavaScripts on the page can interfere with the ad serving. I had a similar issue with a tell a friend script last year. At first it performed fine but after a couple months the ads were displaying the wrong size and were spilling over the content.

I've noticed this as well. Only when using FF, and usually after reloading the page. I've seen ads of the wrong size and from another ad zone appear in the wrong place on the page, in an Iframe that should display another page, etc.
It seems to me it must be a FF issue, as I've never had it happen with IE.
