Brennan Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I reinstall windows yesterday and I installed firefox and now to day every web page shakes. it goes off and on but its mostlt on. I tried reinstalling firefox about 5 times and nothing. http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=2irokjp Quote
Nanob0t Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Weird. I have never heard/seen anything like that. Must get pretty annoying though. I would try installing some other internet provider and seeing if it does the same, you can always delete it. That way you can single out if it's the firefox program or other errors. Or maybe satan has possessed your mouse's scroll button :twisted: Quote
Brennan Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 I know it is firefox b/c IE or Opera dose not do it Quote
VaKo Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 A mate of mine had this, it was only firefox that did it and we never found out why. Quote
cmh0101 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Yup thats a bug that happens with Firefox running on Windows Vista. I had the same thing happen to me when i installed Firefox & Vista on my Thinkpad T60 laptop and also my desktop machine. Hope its fixed soon. Quote
digip Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 What kind of setup do you have. Are you using an optical mouse on a reflective surface? Do you have smooth scrolling on? What version of FireFox? Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version instead of the latest? Are all your windows patches installed, drivers, etc since the reinstall of xp? Try uninstalling and dropping to a lower version and see if it still does it. Then try the updates. Quote
moonlit Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I remember this happened some time ago when someone I knew had FF installed on XP (we're looking at <1.5 IIRC), no idea why it happened though. Quote
thisiam Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 you did not mention anything about bookmarks but this might be a good read bug fix Quote
Brennan Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Yup thats a bug that happens with Firefox running on Windows Vista. I had the same thing happen to me when i installed Firefox & Vista on my Thinkpad T60 laptop and also my desktop machine. Hope its fixed soon. Its not running on vista. I have xp with the vista transformation pack. What kind of setup do you have. Are you using an optical mouse on a reflective surface? Do you have smooth scrolling on? What version of FireFox? Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version instead of the latest? Are all your windows patches installed, drivers, etc since the reinstall of xp? Try uninstalling and dropping to a lower version and see if it still does it. Then try the updates. I have a logitech MX Revolution Wireless and its on a mouse pad. and yes it has smooth scroling. The verison of firefox is 2.0.0.2 Yes all drivers are installed. and I tried installing 1.5.0.10 and it still shakes you did not mention anything about bookmarks but this might be a good read I dont know what book marks would have anything to do about it. But if you mean add-ons I have uninstalled all of my add-ons and still shakes Could it be graphics drivers or something? Not likely b/c they are the same drivers as I used before the reinstall Quote
Brennan Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 yeah I built them into disk. But I read the link that thisiam posted and found that it had something to do with the bookmark toolbar so I removed and had no problems with it yet Quote
film Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Have you got bookmakes ? My friend used to have this and once he added some bookmarks then it stoped ? Let me know if its anyhelp Quote
digip Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 "That's not a bug, it's a feature" - Just Kidding. That would make for a neat little trick to do to someone though. Only with the humor in mind, of course. Maybe a switchblade item to remove all the bookmarklets and show the bookmark bar like the bug calls for. Setup an AT to run every hour, so even if they fix it it keeps coming back. Quote
