scroll bars and Facebook behavior

Post by brinke »

reinstalling FF, so bear with me as I use Safari :).
So I love FF- favorite browser of all of 'em. Here's the rub. When I try to use the FF scrollbars in Facebook- the page will not consistently and smoothly scroll down the page. It jumps up and down. This is the only website that does this when using FF. What am I missing?

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

If it was fixed it's happening again. Trying to scroll down and the page jumps massively.

I've read Instagram now doing the same.

You can try to scroll slower to allow new content to be loaded as scrolling too fast can cause Firefox to lose track when new content on the page arrives.
