Simple solution:
Make an Userscript that changes all opacity that is 0 to a higher value, say 1.

@The World – regarding edthered’s comments…
This is just bs of course, but I guess most of us knew that already…
But I just have to say it anyway…
.
Flex (just like Silverlight) is nothing else then a badly refactored version of ActiveX with fat client software running in browsers pretending to be “the web” while it’s really no more “the web” then a link to an exe file from a website is “the web”…
.
Ajax == Web2.0
.
Flex and Silverlight == ActiveX2.0…
.
But then again, we all knew that ;)

"Maybe an Air client is a better solution for using Twitter." . Maybe an AIR client, or something like it, is better for all web enabled applications. Leave the browsers to do what they do best, delivering relatively static web pages and run all of these applications in a sandboxed environment. Banking, bill paying, twitter/facebook/myspace, etc would all be 1000x better if they would just do that. Then all of these problems would just go away.

I’m SAFE because I use NOSCRIPT which disables JAVASCRIPT so that the TWITTER site can’t function. Long live AJAX!

“It is going to be interesting if Twitter will stay up or how this can be stopped. I guess asking tinyurl to cut the lifeline of the two URL used will do it – but there are others already out there – in French and German. *Update:* TinyUrl did suspend the urls now. However, there will be a lot of copycats.”

Twitter has already updated their code to bust out of the iframe, so no more copycats for this particular vulnerability.
