Why does my browser screen go up and down by itself?

Recently when I've been using Mozilla, the screen will go up and down by itself. When I try to go to the top, the bar to the right side just goes all the way to the bottom. Also sometimes when I use my shift key and try to type a letter, it will take me out of the website I'm in. It only started doing this this week. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • HT201210 why does my phone keeps turning on and off by itself ?

    Hi, my phone is been acting weird. My phone keeps turning on and off by itself and it frezzes. What should i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does firefox have trouble scrolling up and down?

    happens in facebook, google+, and even addon screen, and even this screen (the question form i am typing in right now)
    when i try to scroll up or down it takes a second or so and then jumps, rather than scrolling

    i am curious what autoscrolling does, no difference; the others were checked already
    i think it has to do with the memory stack becoming too large, after much browsing, multiple tabs, etc.
    it works ok, if it is recently opened with just a few tabs
    what really worked for me was:

    Why does my Imac screen slide and I lose my screen ~ It goes back to my desktop.
    Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen without me doing any commands, and I don't know how to get out of it without going to force quit and starting all over. 

    Hi,
    When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
    On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...

  • Why does my screen shake up and down?

    My macbook computer screen shakes up and down so severely that it make me lose my place.  Sometimes it just suddenly drops the page I'm reading a few inches, as if someone were controlling it remotely and couldn't see what I was reading unless they lowered the screen...  This seems to only happen when I am on the internet, and my mouse icon sometimes disappears or goes a little haywire as well, as if someone else were controlling it.  When I try to repair the permissions on my HD, I repeatedly get the message:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.    
    I also get other remote management error messages as well.
    I am being stalked and would like to know if this means my computer is being routinely hacked into through remote management.  It seems like it is. 
    Thanks!

    Thanks for responding.  I tried verifying the disk and both HD icons were error-free, but I can't understand why I have 2 icons for the HD in Disk Utilities.  1 is simply labelled MAC HD and the other is labelled:
    Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media     
    The following was found out about it under INFO:
    Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media Type :          Disk
    Partition Map Scheme :          GUID Partition Table
    Disk Identifier : Media Name : Media Type : Connection Bus : Device Tree : Writable :          Yes Ejectable :          No Location :          Internal Total Capacity :          160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes) S.M.A.R.T.Status: Verified

    disk0 Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media Generic SATA IODeviceTree:/PCI0/SATA@1F,2/PRT0@0/PMP@0
    Why do I have 2 HD icons when I only have 1 HD?  I don't know how to partition anything.
    Thanks,

  • When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

    When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

    Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
    However, first, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Why does illustartor CC open then crashes and i get a message saying windows don't know the prob?

    why does illustartor CC open then crashes and i get a message saying windows does not know what the problem is. everytime i open it, Now i know it works on my computer becuase i've used illustartor plenty of times on my current desktop but ever since today its been acting wierd and work so i've unistalling and reinstalling but still nothing works then i tried installing on another hardrive still did not work and i cleaned out my registryies, optimized my disk, and cleaned temp files tooo so i just do not know what went wrong and i really need help i have class assignments that i have to get done in illustartor so if anyone can help me and let me know what the problem is and what i have to do i would really apreciate it.

    Hi J,
    - Do you see an AICC splash screen? If yes then could you please let us know where exactly it crashes i.e. while loading which plugin or font?
    - Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed? Can you please remove those (do take a backup of them) and see if AI launches fine? This way you would be able to find the plugin creating the problem.
    - Did you install any OS or Ai update after which it started showing the problem?
    - Please check if you have all the Verdana family fonts installed.
    Let me know if any of these work.
    Thanks,
    Dhirendra

  • Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

    why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
    Can ANYONE help me?

  • Why does a specific website say validating and doesn't open the site for me?

    why does a specific website say validating and doesnt open the site?

    My Safari also has a hiccup. My ISP (comcast) helped me by suggesting I try the same task using a different browser (firefox). I had both installed, and firefox completed the task smoothly with no issues. I was told the problem was on my end and my safari browser was most likely flawed. I cannot find the procedure to uninstall & reinstall the Safari app. My iMac came with 2 discs (os & bundled apps) But the ability to choose Safari only, for this task remains illusive. Any suggestions or fixes to repair a glitch infected Safari will be appreciated.

    Hi Kathryn ...
    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin... try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari and Firefox if they are open.
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Use Safari to test. Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed in Safari > Preferences - Extensions, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
