In other news my browser has started doing something REALLY annoying. When I click on the scroll bar it moves ahead 2 pages instead of one. Or back 2 pages. And it doesn't do this consistently, but often enough to annoy the piss outta me. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6, and OSX 10.4.9 on an iBook G4.

I have Win XP Pro and Firefox 2.0.0.7 and clicking on the scrollbar doesn't do anything. Maybe that's a Mac thing.

Is it definitely the browser, or is it possible that the trouble might actually be with the mouse? (Or trackpad, I suppose, if you're not using an external one.)

It could be the OS. Since moving to the latest OS X (10.4.10), in Firefox I can't page down any more (G4 PowerBook) in Firefox. And clicking on some down arrows scrolls down by one line, not one screen the way it used to (and should) in Safari.

MKK, did you recently upgrade your OS or something?

[marykaykare]

I haven't recently upgraded the OS but I did recently upgrade the brower. Problem is I can't remember if it was happening before then or not....\

Well it doesn't happen in anything else where I have a scroll bar so I'm thinking browser.

Well, if it was happening on a computer at the library, I would check the settings for keyboard and mouse, and make sure they were as slow as they could be....

But I know next to nothing about Macs.

I've checked those settings -- it was the first thing I did. I *have* had my machine mysteriously lose or change settings before, but not this time.

Not helpful to the current problem, but get Firefox 2.0.0.7 post-haste, there's a remote code execution hole (via Quicktime media files.)

Will do as soon as I have a moment to breathe. Say about Thursday.
