316190 - Some sites jumps in the browser window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247116

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

A lot of sites I have visited jumps in the screen window. When I MOVE the window it   stops, and when I releases it again it starts jumping again.
Sometimes I go BACK to google from where I found a particular site and then go FORWARD again and it doesn't jump. But that is only sometimes and not often. 

Reproducible: Always

Did you allow JavaScript to move or resize existing windows in Tools > Options > Content > Advanced?

I get the same results except almost every page (including Google) jumps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 1.5.0.4 with no extenions or themes with no luck.

I have encountered this on Vista. It begins as soon as the homepage loads, but goes away if a link is clicked. It comes back if the window is resized. Complete uninstallation and reinstallation has no effect.

Attachment: Animated GIF that portrays the problem

This bug is difficult to visualize without seeing it first hand, so I made an animated GIF that I believe portrays the effect accurately.

This bug should be fixed in the next 2.0.0.x release. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Window_shakes for workarounds.
