It sounds related to the mouse, unplug the mouse and tell us if it continues.

Could be your mouse's scroll button is locked...
Just a thought. I use v0.93 and haven't had the problem yet myself. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, gl!

I use also v0.93 on both linux and Windows and i did not have any problem similar. Maybe if you explain it clearly we could give you a hand.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with flash player 10 when using firefox three, the video (e.G. You tube) keeps jumping from a small to large frame .I've tried older version of flash but it's the same result It used to happen in the older version of firefox as well..I have uninstalled flash using the correct uninstaller from flash, I  tried reinstalling several times but to know avail. It works perfectly well in IE but it's very in convenient to have to keep switching between ff and IE every time I want to watch a tutorial or something

thanks in advance

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!

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

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)

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?
