Mildly irritating web design

Pick a story. Any story. Now use your spacebar or Page Down to scroll. Notice anything?
Yes, that's right, that stupid bar always covers the first few lines. So you have to constantly scroll up to keep reading those few lines. There's a reason FF.net keeps those options parked at the top of the page, where they can't interfere.
And that's not the only usability flaw. The header takes up over half the vertical space of the screen, and there's no way to turn it off or minimize it that I've found. So if you're, say, in the options section, clicking a link to a new subsection means scrolling down every single time. It doesn't use AJAX to switch between sections without having to load a new page, but it does use Javascript to make what should be an unobtrusive page element obtrusive.
Sheesh.

I'm not using it in Firefox, right now, but only because it glitched out when Firefox 11 rolled in.
