Hi all..

Like i mentioned in my previous post I am just using Vista for the first time. When I have installed Firefox (which im always using) the browser keeps bouncing and shaking.. What did I wrong? I installed the newest version of Firefox. What do i need to do to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Fixed it!

I found a fix on another site: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/575134-firefox-bouncing.html

I had deleted all my bookmarks in preparation of importing my old bookmark list. When I re-imported my bookmarks.html file and moved my old Main tool-bar bookmarks back to the proper folder, it stopped bouncing. YAY!
