Author Topic: Smooth scroll 'juddering' in Firefox (Read 8550 times)

this is similar to the fat kid that was doing the rounds ages ago

BTW if you view this link in FF does any one get scrolling problems as in jumpy and slow. I had this a while back and couldnt find a fix. Its ok in IE, very smooth

works fine in FF

Worked fine for me too. Didn't we establish it was one of your add ons, Baz?

cant remember Simon. I tried disabling Adblock plus but didnt seem to make any difference if I remember right. I also get the same effect when using google maps sometimes the satellite view but if I leave it for a while it seems to go ok. its as if the page hasnt fully loaded but the signs show it is loaded

I do get it occasionally when the page 'judders' rather than smooth scrolls, but if it starts happening continually, a browser restart usually sorts it out. Could also be your firewall or anti-virus deciding to be slow at checking web pages.

firewall is just the router and AV is Nod so could it be that or not.would it check every time I visit the same site?

Rik · « **Reply #6 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:22 »

It checks everything that comes out of the router, Baz, but I use NOD with no problems, so I don't think it's that. Which version do you have? I think you run Firefox, don't you? If so, what add-ons do you have?

Baz · « **Reply #7 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:24 »

Nod i'm on 3.0.667.0 and FF yes with add ons running at the moment AD Block Plus; British English Dictionary; Mouse Gestures Redox;Tab Mix Plus

just looking at Task Manager and every refresh of FF the CPU goes up to 100% or very near. is that right

Rik · « **Reply #8 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:26 »

Try disabling the add-ons one at a time, starting with Ad Block Plus, which is, I suspect, the problem, Baz.

Baz · « **Reply #9 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:27 »

I'll try again Rik but i'm sure I tried before and it made no difference. will give it a go.

I hate Ads though

Baz · « **Reply #10 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:31 »

refresh the same page, this one, in IE and it only uses 43%

Baz · « **Reply #11 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:36 »

adblock plus disabled and its worse, but same page in IE is fine

Have you got the latest Flash Plugin, Baz?

OK, turn them all off, then try. If that's OK, turn them back on one at a time, Baz.

Baz · « **Reply #14 on:** May 08, 2009, 17:40 »
