My Firefox has Parkinsons

For some reason my Firefox browser has started to develop some sort of shaky twitch. It'll act sort of like if you'd quickly press the up and down keys, causing the page to move up and down slightly, and it's annoying as hell. The odd thing is though that it comes and goes. Clicking on something will sometimes stop it, but sometimes it won't.

    Do you have a mouse wheel? The last time that happened to me the mouse wheel was gunked up.

    Why it only affected FF, I have no idea.

    I do have a mouse wheel, yeah. I'll see if I can crack it open to see if it's gunked up.

    I had the same problem when I updated FF to a new version. Maybe that's what happened to you.

    I once had a firefox theme that must have been bugged or somethign, but kept making my screen twitch. it was really annoying, and it was a cool theme too. I switched themes and didn't have any more problems. Try switching yours and see if it helps.

    Thanks! Turning off the Bookmarks Toolbar (or putting a bookmark in there) fixed it right up.
