Scrolling in firefox 3.6.3 on some sites is erratic when scroll up or down the page jumps and does not lock on to location? Running Windows 7. Have gone to same site using firefox beta 4 and the site works perfectly. Need to use 3.6.3 because of add-on which do not work in firefox beta 4. Hope someone can help.
