It happens on all pages whose length is more than a screen full in Firefox
2.0 that came with Ubuntu 6.10 (AMD64) . Flash is not installed. Problem
exists on both a HP ZV6000 laptop and a home built desktop AMD 64. If I pick
up the slider on the right hand side of the browser window and slide up and
down the scroll is a very slow one line at a time with screen refresh on
each move.
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS with Firefox 1.5.x works fine on both hardware. Scroll is
fast and refresh not a problem.
Problem has been reported before by anothe user, copy herewith:

Herky Jerky Firefox Scrolling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm really annoyed by the way scrolling down or up occurs in Firefox 2.0
after the upgrade to Edgy Eft. I'm not certain if this is a result of the
mouse configuration (IfeelMouseMan 3-button with scroll wheel) or if this is
something about the new Firefox 2.0.
No matter what method I use to scroll up or down, I see a jerky line-by-line
movement of the page up or down. It is slow and looks terrible. I tried
Mozilla Web Browser and the effect seemed to be greatly reduced but still
evident.
I've tried to adjust the mouse using the user preferences in Ubuntu, and
I've changed the Advanced Preferences in Firefox for smooth scrolling and
autoscrolling. None of these had any affect. What else can I do to change
the scrolling to make it smooth and faster?

Malcolm,
Thanks for your report.
Is this happening on all web pages of just a few? Do you have flash
installed?
thanks
