My firefox keeps jumping up and down....

My Firefox keeps jumping up and down... (hey, mine too)
My firefox keeps jumping up and down....

Hi, guys!

I got here because I'm experiencing the same problem. Well, actually it's not Firefox that's jumping, but every page itdisplays. What I can say, tho is that it stops jumping if you remove the Bookmarks toolbar. But this is just a workaround, not an actual solution. I love my bookmarks toolbar .

Have tried to reinstall it (without uninstalling first) but it seems the jump parade didn't stop.

Will also try to uninstall after I finish this message and install fresh, clear cache and everything and see if it happens.

up and down
My firefox keeps jumping up and down....

thanks for just writing something if you didn't have a clue.

Jumping up and down means that the window inside the tab, basicly the shown webpage, goes down a few lines, like when you toggle a status bar on and off. Then within the same seconds it adjusts and goes back up. This continues on and on and on like about three or four times per second. 

I had this problem when I tried to pin the bookmarks-bar next to the status-bar. So far all-ok, but when I create a third folder on the bookmark-bar(really, two folders are no problem), the jumping begins.  Reinstallation is not an option, guys. 

It seems like some kind of auto-re-adjustment of firefox, to the optimal size.

Maybe its a connection of the bookmarks and the small design theme I'm using for my firefox.

Now anybody with a clue?

Hi

When I go onto the firefox screen its ok, but the screen that comes up after a search is flicking up and down constantly, but the toolbar at the top is stationary. Any idea why it's doing this and how I can stop it.

Thanks (hopefully)

woof woof
its a new kinda thing
but still
try installing and then again uninstalling
hope this will clear your prob and you can get out of it

It sounds related to the mouse, unplug the mouse and tell us if it continues. If it doesnt continue then it is a mouse driver/hardware issue, try scrolling the wheel forcefully and fast (not to break it) and see if that resets it to normal operation.

also try updating firefox go to "Help" then click "Check for updates" install any and all updates you are presented with.

If that doesnt help try another mouse. If the problem persists install "YAST" (look on the firefox plugin page) it is a scrolling addon for firefox that smooths out the scroll. perhaps taking scroll control and piping it through the YAST addon will solve it.

IF you still have the problem uninstall all addons so the "addons" page is empty, uninstall or disable any software that is involve with your mouse (except the basic drivers) so if you have a gaming type mouse with extra buttons find the disc of drivers, then uninstall those drivers for the mouse, unplug the mouse and put it back in and your operating system will automatically install BASIC drivers for the mouse. If the problem is now gone then it means the drivers for your mouse are causing the issue, search the internet for a recent version of the driver and try again. If you only have a standard mouse then you wont be able to uninstall the drivers. (To uninistall special mouse drivers that came on a disk just whack the disk in the tray and when it loads it should give you an option to uninstall.)

Good luck!
