The scroll bar stops moving with the cursor after the frist inch or so down the page, even though the cursor keeps moving as does the page itself.

This problem started about 4-5 days ago.
After i scroll down a bit on a longer page, the scroll bar is still near (not at) the top. The page is scrolling at that point based only on me continuing to move the cursor in the scroll bar vertical column - even though not in line with the actual scroll bar itself. Then when I put the cursor on the actual scroll bar the page jumps back up to near the top of the page.
Thanks for any help.

Are you using code in userContent.css or Stylish?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Firefox Safe mode also disables the customizations in the userChrome.css and userContent.css files.

I am about to throw my new Mac Book Pro 15inch out the window!! Does anyone else have a problem scrolling e-mails!?? I cannot find the scroll bar that disapears with out continually pulling at the bottom right corner to reveal it and then it disappears!!?

Does any one else have a problem scrolling e-mails ??( I use Yahoo with Firefox) I continually have to tug the corner to reveal scroll bar that dissapears!?
Also using arrows to scroll website doesn't always work either? Is this because I've bought a 15inch instead of my old trusty 20inch which didn't have this problem?

Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch mid 2012") and which version of OS X are you running? If Mavericks you can go under System Preferences>General and tick the "Show Scroll Bars: Always."
Call back,

How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Everything is greyed and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading, all fonts are grey, instead of black, and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible? And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade? I no longer have column headings and I'd like them. Thank you.

Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

After a period of time the tab bar stops scrolling or scrolls eratically, the first and last tabs are inaccessible via the mouse

Over the period of a day or three the tab bar stops responding to attempts to scroll the tab bar. I can still advance through the tabs with ctrl-tab and shift-ctrl-tab but the tab scroll arrows either don't work at all or work erratically.

A "solution" that requires restarting the program is not a solution at all. This is a bug in Firefox - once you have enough tabs open, tab scrolling becomes unresponsive, and tabs at the far right and left cannot be tabbed to at all. It is also not a solution to open less tabs; if I want 50 tabs open, and work best that way, then FF should permit that. It does not do so now.
Thanks.

Firefox crashed yesterday and today it opened with the scroll bar on the left side, not the right. How do I fix this?

Firefox crashed last night as I was closing it down. Today, when I started up my laptop and opened firefox, the scroll bar was on the left. I'm not sure how to move it back to the right side of the page.

The scroll bar for Firefox cannot be controlled by the mouse, the only way I can scroll is with the arrow keys, help!!

I have a brand new Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 7 and I just installed the latest Firefox browser. My problem is that the scroll bar for the browser does not work when using the mouse... the mouse cannot control the scroll bar either by clicking the up or down arrow or by dragging the bar with the mouse. The only way for me to scroll using Firefox is to use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

When I open certain emails the scroll bars at the side and bottom flash and jump back and forth along with the email content

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Yahoo mail. Ever since then when I open certain emails the scroll bars jump back and forth and flash. This happens when I open my AT&T bill or something from Amazon for instance. A message appears at the bottom such as "Transferring data from mail.yimg.com", or "us.bc.yahoo.com". This doesn't happen when I use Safari.

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

How can I get the scroll bar to go to the top or bottom of the page with a right click command?

When I right click on the scroll bar nothing happens. I have to spin the mouse wheel repeatedly to get to the top or bottom of the page. I just switched from explorer. I'm used to being able to do this. It's much less time consuming and frustrating. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

You can hold down the Shift key and left-click the scroll bar to go to that position.
If you set the Boolean pref middlemouse.scrollbarPosition to "true" (default on Linux) on the about:config page then you can middle-click the scroll bar to go to that position.

How do I keep the scroll bar from disappearing in the Mountain Lion update 10.8.5?

When I got the prompt yesterday that there was an update for Mountain Lion I went ahead and downloaded it, and it is awful! The scroll bar on the right side of the screen disappears too quickly now to use it easily, and is difficlut to get back, which adds extra steps (clicking on the down arrow while the cursor is in the scroll area then quickly clicking the arrow cursor while it is in the temporary scroll down bar. Or else this is from a Firefox update I did NOT actually download, but indications when I started up my computer today are that it did download somehow by itself without my permission, as there was a notice that some of my Mozilla ad-ons might not be compatible with this version of Firefox. I couldn't understand that since it should have been the same version of Firefox I used yesterday! I know I didn't download the new Firefox because the pop-up box went away very quickly each time it came up so I never did click on it. Does anyone know if the change in scrolling is a Firefox update or the OSX 10.8.5 update? I HATE it and want it off, but don't know which one is the culprit nor how Firefox updated itself without my consent. Aaaarrrggghhh!

System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars:
Make sure that "Always" is selected.
Best.

How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

I assume that your post in [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]] ended up in the wrong thread and should have appeared here.
The only thing that changes if you run the code in the Scratchpad is the disappearance and reappearance of the scroll bar in the current tab. You do not see anything in the Scratchpad. So you need to switch back to the browser window.
You can test it with this code, that should make both scroll bars appear:
<pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow","scroll",""));
</nowiki></pre>
[[/questions/906990#answer-291125]]:
<blockquote>In Scratchpad I ran both:
<pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
and
void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
In the 2nd one I got:
17:48:57.826 |x unexpected end of XML source
@ Scratchpad:1'''
For the 1st one I got no activity, only a blinking cursor.
any other ideas ?
Good luck and merry Christmas, Bill

The scroll bar stops moving with the cursor after the frist inch or so down the page, even though the cursor keeps moving as does the page itself.
