Tried both solutions too, didn’t fix it. But the scrolling is slightly better if I dont switch tabs for a while..

this worked for me. :)

go to control panel. click display.

click the appearance tab.

click the effects button.

unclick the box that says “Use the following transition effects for menus and tooltips:”

make sure all the other boxes are checked, and the drop-down menu for “Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:” says “Standard”.

seems when you disable the transition effects, the problem with choppy scrolling is corrected.

hope this helps.
cheers!

i closed firefox 3, removed the “-example” from the title of the userContent-example file, pasted the above code into it (replacing the message that was in there, is that right?), and saved. nothing has changed.

scrolling is really wacky, and in fact, there’s now a cursor on every web page as if it were a word file. is that a new feature of FF3? i’ve tried every combination of autoscrolling, smooth scrolling, etc, but my up and down arrow keys are only partially functional in firefox, and the page up and page down keys either don’t respond, or act like the End key. ideas?

If they are located in the same directory one is named userContent instead. If they are in different directories they belong to different profiles.

i’ve actually got *two* of these userChrome-example.css files. one is 1KB and the other is 2KB. does it matter which one i modify?

Completes very well with ‘Yet Another Smooth Scrolling’ FF extension : now all pages slide like skis on snow, wunderbar!

Actually what did the fix for me is to go into tools – options – advanced – general tab – check the Use smooth scrolling box…worked for me… ;)

That solution made the scrolling better, but not completely smooth for me (especially on the second Example)

“with large fixed background images.”
I always hated those, decided to block css backgrounds :/
