 * There is a problem with the submenus using Firefox 31.0. Hoovering the navigation
   bar the submenus are shown but sometimes disappear when the cursor is moved toward
   an entry.
 * It works for example with Chrome and Safari.

 * I found the solution at

 * The CSS at line 546 has to be
 *     ```
       .main-navigation ul ul {
       	display: none;
       	float: left;
       	position: absolute;
       	top: 0;
               padding-top: 1.8em;
       	left: 0;
       	z-index: 99999;
       }
       ```
   
 * instead of
 *     ```
       .main-navigation ul ul {
       	display: none;
       	float: left;
       	position: absolute;
       	top: 1.8em;
       	left: 0;
       	z-index: 99999;
       }
       ```

 * If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated
   section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager
   plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
 * Then use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=704634)
   to hold your CSS modifications
 * _Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications_

 * Oops, this does work only partly.
 * Hovering from right works, but hovering from left does not yet.

 * This works for a navigation with one submenu:
 *     ```
       .main-navigation ul ul {
       	display: none;
       	float: left;
       	position: absolute;
       	top: 0;
               padding-top: 1.8em;
       	left: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * For more submenus you have to fix more code.
