WB w/Firefox question

Monday, July 18, 2005 by MoabXJ | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I'm running Firefox 1.0.5 and have WindowBlinds (basic/free version). With some skins - such as Encoded and iSkin - any open windows with vertical scroll bars will begin rapidly scrolling up and down a couple pixels. Almost looks like it's vibrating. Any idea what I can do to remedy this? I searched around with no luck.

Thanks!

off and on get several posts of WB & FF - most have stated reloading the skin (right click icon in systray) seems to take care of it. I've hadn't had any issues yet.

Its rare, but not a big problem. Try minimizing firefox, then maximizing it again. That does the trick for me!

Thanks! Things seemed to have remedied themselves, but if the issue pops up again, I'll try your tips...

I had this problem too, and it stopped me using firefox for a while as reading a webpage thats got the jitters gets a bit of a strain on the eyes after a while!

My fix didnt involve WB though, i found i had the 'Bookmarks Toolbar' set to show, despite not having added any bookmarks in said toolbar. (You get bookmarks to appear on this toolbar by adding them to the 'Bookmarks Toolbar Folder' in the Bookmarks Menu). Once I'd switched the bookmarks toolbar off, it hasnt occured since. Can only assume that Firefox gets confused as to why I was trying to view a toolbar with nothing on it...

Kona, these are people who once used IE but find Firefox better.
If I go back to IE I might as well die.
