The firefox 1.5.1.0 is jumpy at times.. If I type in the google
toolbar the screen does (2) or (3) quick 1/8 inch jumps, (Only below
the tabs and not the whole browser)...If I open a new page, it jumps,
Only happens in firefox and not Explorer.. (Which I dislike) Anyway the
problem also happens when I open a new page or swich to a different
tab. I have a few extenions... Adblock and No script.. Not sure when
it started but it does it all the time now.. Any ideas? any help would
be great.

Thanks
glee

Oh, good, someone else is experiencing the same problem. Was
afraid I screwed something up. I expect if we wait a little, a
fix will suddenlty appear.

Does playing with Options / Advanced / "Use smooth scrolling" help ?

I think the problem may be triggered by the new ver 0.2.3 of
ImageZoom. Try disabling it and see if it eliminates the
problem.

Well tried a number of the things suggested here, but still jumps on
certain pages.. Well most pages for sure including this one.. I open a
group of tabs and like this page here that I'm reading the posts on,
it was jumping or jerking, I guess is a better word. I'm just
wondering if Adblock is having anything to do with it. I also use the
Mike Host list to block ads.. Hmmm...
Anyway, I'm still open for suggestions. I hate the thought of using
Explorer even the Beta with tabs... I love firefox... Thanks to all who
have thrown out a few ideas

if you think its adblock, then disable it and try it with out and see
what happens.

otherwise, try and update your monitor/video drivers, and see if that
works
