The Firefox 'bounce'

[Parapunter]

Is it just me?

For as long as I can remember this has been happening. When I hover over a link or a bookmark, if I click, that link, about 1 in 10 times, the page will jump upwards a touch & I'll often end up on the link below or miss completely!

It's not as if this spoils ones day, but it is a behaviour I notice in FF & not IE. - I have to say I get this phenomenon on more than one machine, so I'm ruling out hardware.

I notice it on E-Bay especially, I think it's something to do with the way NoScript or AddBlocker works.

Is it FF, or something built into the OS?

If there's one thing I really hate about the file Explorer, it's that. WhereTF has it gone? characteristic. I think it's built into Windows.

With a fair sized 'tree' opened in the left column, it can easily jump more than a page.

I'm sure someone thought they were being helpful in predicting where you might want to be looking, but I just want them to leave it where it was.

Same here, but I get it on Opera as well.

I had put it down to the page continuing to load (adverts!) after the part of interest had appeared.

me to on Opera

and agree with the above, page still loading.
