    For some reason, it's moving up and down as i type. Only the website is moving, not above where it says refresh and what not .. anyone have this before?

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium

    Edit: It's basically shaking in an up and down motion, but still remaining in relitively the same spot.

    Same here TheMan, I believe it's a compatibility issue with Vista. No idea what's causing the jumping. Hopefully, it's not some silly bid by MS to hinder FF's development in Vista.

    I hope that that's not the case, because we all know that IE is much worse than FireFox. Hopefully FireFox will come out with a patch or something .. I would complain on their website, but it's very annoying to fill out an error report.

    No, I believe I know your problem - I had the same one shortly after switching to vista. If you have your bookmarks toolbar exposed without any bookmarks, it will cause the page to jump. Add a dummy bookmark if you don't already have on e. There you go, hope that is your problem and this works.

    Another MS conspiracy... hehe...
    I read this from Toms Hardware,
    1) Vista hates Australians - Time sync problem (well, Australia have a little bit of different time, maybe they din see this coming)
    2) Vista Hates Blu-ray (Xbox vs PS3???)
    3) Vista loves to bluescreen (No idea with this)
    4) Vista hates XP (obviously m$'s marketing strategy)
    5) Vista hates you (What!? read up urself, i have no idea at all)

    http://www.tgdaily.com/2007/02/02/windows_vista_reader_feedback/page3.html

    And now, we can add another:
    Vista Hates Firefox!
