That looks like one of the usual messages that you see when Firefox is loading content from a server similar to what you get when you hover a link. Such a message automatically moves depending on where the mouse pointer currently is.

What is the shape of the mouse pointer when this happens?

Does the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) any (GET) messages when this happens.

That appears to be the Page Loading Status display. It normally appears in the lower-left corner, but when that area is being used by the page content it automatically shifts to the lower-right corner, as is happening for you with that game.

This extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ - has a number of options that are related to modifying the Add-on Bar to act like the old Status Bar used in Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions. IIRC, there is an option for moving the Page Loading Status display or hiding it, although once I set up my preferences with S-4-E I didn't play with the other options. So I can't tell you exactly how to set it up for that Status display.

hi the pointer is an arrow head and the banner only appears on the play page not any where else and only on occasions after the game has loaded. But i have log out of the entire game to clear it from the screen. cheers wad109

It looks that some JavaScript is trying to load (extra) content from an ad server.

You can look at Adblock Plus if you want to block such content.
