I use IE as little as possible, it’s slow.

Google Chrome works great for me on FR. It’s fast, articulate, and clean! And it never apologizes.

I've had varied 'puter 'problems' for about a year.

Stupid stuff that seems to come and go ... I figure "they're" watching me, gorebull warming or just entropy.

I've given up on believing my high speed line is high speed.

Firefox also has auto scrolling feature that you can turn off. Check the advanced settings.

I have had similar problems with older versions of FF (3.0 and before), but none recently.

Adobe Flash 11 does NOT play well with FF. Both have been trying to find out what is causing the problem but FF 12 balks with Flash 11.

A couple of the FF rapid releases has problems with PDF files. That seems to have been resolved.

Mozilla’s Rapid Release has created more problems than they solve. They need to slow their insanity.

In related developments, Mozilla is discontinuing future rapid releases of Thunderbird, after ver 14.

There’s no solution, Pab’...

IE and Bing are both popular but are both from Microsoft, which supports the homosexual agenda.

Google Chrome is a stable platform, but Google is Leftist and backs the homosexuals.

Firefox loads all sorts of browser bells & whistles and interferes with smooth operation.

If there is an acceptable alternate, I haven’t heard it.

for IE go top left to Page tab
Find the Compatibility view and click to allow that for freerepuglic.
It seems to fix issues I have had on other pages.

Smokingfrog mentioned it...

I had an issue with scrolling a couple of weeks back after I updated FF. In FF, go to Tools, Options, Advanced. In the General Tab, make sure “smooth scrolling” is not checked.

I don’t know if this will help your issue but it did help the jerky movement I was getting from my mouse wheel.

I use Firefox and I’m not experiencing that problem and I can’t find a way to replicate your problem.

The only thing I’ve experienced that is similar— I had a mouse go goofy on me. It would decide to lock on the scroll all by itself and trying to post, copy paste, highlight—pffft!— a mess.

I kept holding off on getting a new mouse thinking maybe it is something else because things were so strange I thought surely a mouse couldn’t do all that.

I purchased a new mouse and the goofy went away, at least with my browsing. I’m still the same.

If you are unable to scroll vertically or horizontally using the arrow keys on your keyboard, you may have accidentally enabled Caret Browsing. (F7)

Is it a wireless mouse or a laser mouse?

If so, it might be dirty. A dirty laser mouse can show problems like you've described.

You can clean the pads on the bottom of the mouse, and clean the laser itself with a q-tip dipped in some rubbing alcohol.

If the pads are really dirty, you might scrape them with a fingernail.
