It doesnt seem to happen at any particular website, but when Im browsing the web, the screen will sometimes snap to a part of the page a little below the middle. If I try and scroll up, it does move but it just snaps back. I can use the up&down keys on the keyboard when this happens.

:confused5

It happens to me sometimes as well.

Let's say I scroll ALL the way to the bottom of a page and move my mouse away from the scrollbar, it sends the page back up automatically! agh is annoying.

I can now add another reason as to why I ride the bird of fire.

Are there any good browsers out there? I have Netscape, and was using it before i got Trillian. It's like Netscape and Trillian cant get along well.

I just downloaded Firebird, really impressed. They made alot of changes since the last time i tried it. Anyway, when i install Flash, it only detects my Netscape, why is that?

netscape is basically mozilla.. or the other way around.. i dunno.. but it should work :)

Just tell flash to install to your Firebird folder.

Will work just fine :-)

With Firebird, it's best to use the installer version (exectuable), or else you'll have to manually edit your registry if you want to install shockwave or something.

I still prefer IE, mozilla is nice, but feels very light. I have no idea wat that means too.

No that doesnt help. Its been like this for a few weeks.

Come to think of it, I *think* its only started happening when we swapped to the new mouse (a laser one)..

When that happens, try scrolling with keyboard. After that, it should be ok. It works for me.
