None of these work at all… Please tell me of a way to fix the scrolling problem in Firefox… I did EVERYTHING you all said, it does seem faster, BUT the scrolling problem STILL exists

So the new profile method didn’t change anything for me… BUT i found that after I uncheck ‘check spelling as I type’ in the ‘advanced’ tab of the options, that FF runs much faster now, yay!

Auto-spell check was slowing me down too much!

The userContent fix worked perfect; Thank you!

Out of curiosity I also tried “dynovideo’s” solution but it had no effect on my XP system.

this worked for me.

go to control panel. click display.

click the appearance tab.

click the effects button.

unclick the box that says “Use the following transition effects for menus and tooltips:”

make sure all the other boxes are checked, and the drop-down menu for “Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:” says “Standard”.

seems when you disable the transition effects, the problem with choppy scrolling is corrected.

hope this helps.
cheers!
