On a number of web sites when I move the cursor over a link on the page I get the following error message. I am running the latest 64-Bit version of java:-

[Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIDOMWindow.getComputedStyle]" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://smouse/content/smouse.js :: sw_findNodeToScroll :: line 172" data: no]

To avoid confusion: http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java

chrome://smouse/content/smouse.js - that is probably an error related to an extension which you installed

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
