Windowblinds and Firefox

Weird shaking effect

from WinCustomize Forums
When I install certain themes something goes wrong with my firefox browser. It looks like someone is shaking my browser window, it jumps a few pixels. Does anyone know of this weird problem and how to solve it?

Try to remove firefox from winblinds skinning. Click "per aplication" in winblinds and then add per application. browse and find your firefox exe file and in the dialog that appears choose to ignore to skin the application.

Hope this works.

Hmm... I believe I've had this problem without Windowblinds loaded. I thought it had something to do with my three button mouse.

I had the same problem. It stopped jumping after a site would load. But what I did was remove it from skinning in the per application option...then I installed a firefox theme...then deleted it from the per application option and it stopped jumping. Not sure if doing this really made a difference, but its not jumping anymore.

I've been able to fix this problem just by reloading the tabs.

I couldn't find any help on this either, so I dinked around with various settings and found that if I turned the 'Bookmarks' toolbar off, it QUIT!

View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar (uncheck).

Hope it works on yours ....

Had the same problem - felt like someone shaking my Firefox browser. But it got fixed doing the exact opposite of Andersonz's - I turned the Bookmarks Toolbar ON. And it worked !

This is a firefox bug I believe.

It cannot handle certain content margins (on tabs?) and this causes it to act oddly.  It also has problems with system wide fonts which use positive values.  Neither of these issues are caused by WB and can be reproduced without WindowBlinds.
