I gotta tell you that no matter what option I choose - autoscrolling or smooth - there's no diference in my Ffox. Scrolling works only when I scroll, if u know what I mean. I donno why is that, cause there should be some difference, shouldn't there??

I have no problems with scrolling in firefox. I click up and down it goes up or down. I push the button it gives the scroller and i can make it steadily scroll up or down or stationary. I haven't found anything different about scrolling...

I mean it works properly in my Ffox, like in yours Neon, but there's no difference when when I mark smooth or autoscrolling. Fortunately, it doesn't bother me at all, it works as I want it to. Sth like that

OK , so tell me sth yet,
when I right-click to show the pop up menu it displayes up to the page, I mean it unrolls in the way that I can see only it's (menu) bottom, the rest is hidden somewhere above (I mean it goes to the top of my monitor, so some part is above it ??). Only when I click stright under the toolbar it unrolls down and I can see the whole menu. It's rather difficult matter for me to express (urrrgh..) but I hope U understand it. I've been just wondering if I can change it somehow (the way pop up menu unrolls).

So firefox has lately been giving me a Address Not Found Error on pages that I know should pop up, like google. I open IE and every site works fine. What's up with this?

I've had that problem at times too with Mozilla. I'm just guessing, but it's possible that Mozilla/Firefox has a slightly shorter 'window' waiting for a reply before it assumes a website doesn't exist.

Here's one for ya - Firefox Anomaly
Okay, really, this could be MY anomaly - like I don't know what the heck I'm doing, BUT....

I've made Firefox my default browser. Yesterday I tried to use Firefox to get into my bank's secured site. This was my first time to use Firefox to do this. When I entered my user id and password and pressed enter, the site came back with the standard "we didn't find you in our database" error page. Tried several times - no deal. Fired up IE and did same thing - boom! - logged in first time, no problems.

Might this have something to do with the lack of ActiveX support in Firefox? How can I prove that this is the case? Obviously Firefox was not communicating my id and password to the logon page when IE did with no problem.

Anyone had any similar experience?

I'm not on Dial-up, I'm on broadband. There has to be some way to correct this problem, if not I may need to switch browsers again and stop promoting firefox.

Jima, i don't need your password but i would like the link to the site you were trying to access to see if it contains activex, because that is a likely reason.
Oh, and the two problems above/below you other two had i don't have to deal with so i couldn't help in that spot.
