Default Vista doesn't like firefox

Half the pages I load with firefox on Vista do this weird thing where they shake (up and down).
I mean, what. the. ****. My computer seriously looks like it's having a seizure.
It doesn't crash or anything, and it goes away if I refresh most of the time,
but this seems like a M$ ploy to make us use IE.
or maybe mine is just screwed up.
anyone else have this problem?

Hello,

I had this problem when I first installed Firefox on Vista, though it was an older build of Firefox 2. I found that displaying the bookmarks toolbar stopped the page from shaking up and down.

The newest stable version of Firefox is 2.0.0.3. Have you installed the newest version?

I have no problems using the latest firefox in vista, I also have no problems with vista runs all my apps and games so im happy. Sure there are a few niggles like having to do run as admin to get somethings to install or even run but give it time.

I like vista, just a few annoying bugs.
Yea I am running 2.0.0.3, I'll try the bookmarks thing.
I have to say, DreamScene is sick, I can't go back to XP. (even if does create minor slowdown, which is pretty good for a 3 year old system)

Did you say displaying the toolbar worked for you?
Getting rid of it just stopped it for me.
huh. =/
M$ has a sense of humor after all.
