243779 - Certain pages seem to "jump" or "bounce" on screen, a few times it stops when going to another page but most of the time it doesn't matter.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Proselyte]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Firefox/0.8

How to explain this right, the browser screen hops up and down, bounces or
jumps..I guess. It may of had to do with my shockwave download or it started
upon downloading shockwave and after downloading it.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start browser
2. goto http://games.yahoo.com
3. Goto a game like bowling, the screen starts to hop.

Actual Results:  
After the third step, no matter what page I was in, tab or other window on
Firefox. The screen was moving up and down (hopping) frequently.

Expected Results:  
Probably, not hop or move up and down.

I get a jumpy screen as soon as I enter the firefox home page. The sreen beneath
the upper toolbar jumps but not the toolbar. I only downloaded firefox 2 days
ago, it worked fine until now. I uninstalled and reinstalled it twice, rebooted,
etc.,  but with the same results (cleaned out the internet files also).

theme or extension problem.
use default theme and disable extensions/

Does this still happen with FF1.0PR/RC1 ?

This was a bug in the past but I cannot find the patch which fixed this problem => WFM.
