Help Mozilla suffering spasms

Post by Wang_Lo »

all of a sudden yesterday, Firebird suddenly started to spaz. like a constant quick up down motion. i redownloaded and then downloaded FireFox and it does the same thing. I had to resort to IE which works fine. I have no idea what is causing this. i was hoping maybe one of you could shed some light onto this. Thanks in advance.

That happens to me when I get over zealous in using the mousewheel... on my p 150.

you got any extensions installed, and are you using the 0.8 release, or a daily build?

You can pop 'em open with a screwdriver roid. And have you tried looking under the mouse feet for screws?

Sounds like a hardware fault (mouse) or CPU usage delaying your inputs.
