Since the last version of Firefox, my tab for Yahoo! Mail Beta constantly bounces or jumps up and down.  I can click off the tab to another tab and come back and it stops, but as soon as I do a Check Mail or click on an e-mail, the tab starts bouncing again.

This is driving me completely nuts!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log into Yahoo! Mail Beta.
2.Check Mail.
3.Tab starts bouncing.

Actual Results:  
The same thing.

Expected Results:  
The tab used to NOT bounce.  I downloaded the Firefox update which came out yesterday in hopes that it would fix this problem, but it didn't.

What's odd, is that none of the free Yahoo Mail tabs bounce.  I pay for Yahoo! Mail Plus for my primary account and that is the Yahoo Mail Beta which bounces.  My other Yahoo (free) mail accounts, which are not Yahoo Mail Beta, do not bounce.

Hey folks ...

Just thought that I would add this bit of very useful information.  After initially reporting this bug, I've tried some troubleshooting actions which haven't revealed any solution, but did find a ton of JavaScript Console Errors relating to this problem.

The errors are mainly "Error in parsing value for property 'cursor'. Declaration dropped." and "Error: Unknown property 'filter'. Declaration dropped."  As well as many other "declaration" errors.

I hope this helps with fixing the problem.

Those messages are just CSS parsing errors, they don't generally matter for anything other than appearance.

I believe that the source of this problem is the Tabs Mix Plus extension.  I reset Tabs Mix Plus to the default setting and Yahoo Mail Beta stopped bouncing.  I also upgraded to the most current version of Java Runtime Environment.
