I switched from Firefox to Chromium months ago because of this issue.
But I was browsing nomachines website, and they have a workaround that
solved the problem for me in Firefox.
Specifically, I opened the Firefox configuration settings
(about:config), and then added a new string with name
"plugins.force.wmode" and value "transparent". That did the trick for
me.
Here is the nomachine workaround:

It has been reported that two more workarounds are possible:
- adding the "render=0" and "defer=2" options to the AgentExtraOptions
key in the node.cfg configuration file (this could affect the overall
performance);
- adding the "plugins.force.wmode = transparent" or the
"plugins.force.wmode = opaque" option to firefox in the "about:config"
URL.
