I have searched on several sites trying to find an answer to this
problem and I cannot. I have added Google ads to my site (
www.bluecollarmtb.com ) and they are doing a strange flicker thing when
I load the page in Firefox. It works fine with IE and Opera. Also, other
people can see it as I have gotten a few friends with firefox to test it
on their machine as well.
Google uses iframes to show their ads and from what I can tell, firefox
is not setting up the frame with enough height because you can scroll
the ads a bit up or down even though they are set at a height of 60.
Anyway, anybody know what is going on?

The flicker seems to only last as long as the blog is loading. As soon
as the page is complete, the flicker stops. Possibly something in the
WordPress template causing the iframe to reload when each entry is
added?
The 1px scroll might be caused by Firefox accounting for the 1px border
on the top differently than IE does, effectively making the image
height: 61px. Try making the iframe 61px and valign=top (or equivalent
confangled CSS), and see if the scroll stops.

I have fixed the iframe problem so the scrool thing isnt happening
anymore, however that didn't fix the flicker problem.
In my code I have wrapped the google javascript in an "if" statement so
it will only be posted under the first entry, so since the "if"
statement is failing, it should not be trying to reload it everytime. I
am completely lost.

Isolate Google's script call in an include file, and then have a php
check at the bottom of your blog template, such as: if post_id =
max(post_id), include google_ad.inc (else do nothing). That should make
it so the <div> appears only once client-side.
I hope. :)

I just re-read that a little slower, and it sounds like you're doing
exactly what I just said. I somehow got the impression you were using
javascript yourself to include/exclude Google's script! If this thing
is getting past php... well... It's certainly a conundrum!
