If I have 1 page open or 5 pages open, they will slide beyond the screen and I have to slide my hand over the mouse pad. I had to slide the mouse pad 3 times just to type this sentence. It is very nerve racking and I'm fixing to find another server if this doesn't stop. Also the Menu seems to love to open when ever it wants too and I can click on Menu button to close it, but it opens right back, this goes on at least 30 times a day. Nothing stays open or closed as I would like it to !!!!

Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

Then perform these steps:

  1. To open the Firefox Preferences window, click the menu button New Fx Menu and select "preferences"
  2. In the Firefox Preferences window, click the Advanced tab, then select General.
  3. In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
  4. Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

If the above does not help, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
