Pages go crazy

Post by Hubird »

If Adblock Plus 0.7.2.1 is installed with FireFox 2.0 or Minefield 3.0a1 and you have the bookmark toolbar visible but with no bookmarks in it pages have a tendency to go a little crazy (looks like the page is trying to scroll up and down) the first time they are loaded (clicking on a link seems to stop it). I am using Vista RC 2.

No problem found here with the bookmarks toolbar configuration you described (Firefox 2.0 Standard theme Windows XP SP2).
Have you tried with a clean profile (you can import/export your filters list) in order to discard any compatibility problem coming from other add-on?

This has absolutely nothing to do with Adblock Plus. Read the (Google cache of the) MozillaZine KB page for it.

Edit: Actually, your report sounds a little different. Huh.

Can we get a screenshot of what means "go crazy"?

Btw, I don't think the bookmarks toolbar has any influence on Adblock Plus whatsoever.

A screen shot wont be able to capture this weird behaviour it looks like the page is constantly trying to scroll up and down by a small amount. At first I thought it was Firefox, but if I uninstall adblock plus I can not get the problem to happen, reinstall adblock plus it happens. I tested on a WinXP SP2 install and it this problem did not happen.

Try this:

It's a common problem ... easy to fix if this is your problem.

I guess the reason why it seems to depend on Adblock Plus is the icon in the toolbar. Try removing this (or any other) icon - I guess it will solve your problem as well.

PS: I changed the title of your thread to make it less yelling.
