The “ga_shade div tag” is an overlay to shade the website screen and is used by Google Analytics to show clicks overlay. I figured out last night that with google analytics you can track how many users click a certain link. However this brings out a problem, after disabling the overlay the shaded part of the website is still shaded and nothing can be clicked nor selected. This issue involves firefox, didn’t have any problem browsing the site with Safari.
The code that google created goes like this:
The way to fix this is to “Clear Cookies”
Go to Firefox Preferences – Privacy Tab – Click Show Cookies
This list all the cookies just click “Remove All Cookies”
Apparently only the webmaster are affected and not the visitors, due to the fact that only webmasters can access Google Analytics to Initiate the Shade Overlay. So don’t worry clicks have been counted.

Thank you tanya.. not deleting all cookies is better
Great, thanks for the info. This really saved me when I thought I had some bug on my site — that only affected one copy of firefox!
By the way, you can actually fix the problem without deleting all of your cookies (if you don’t want to lose your preferences/logins on all the sites you visit). On the “show cookies” page, instead of choosing to remove all cookies, just search for all cookies under yourdomain.com and remove those.
Thanks again!
