Another bug in Firefox

9 comments

Do this…

Open Firefox.

  1. Open a page like say, Three-By-Five. Or even here lol…
  2. Enable your Bookmarks Toolbar by right-clicking on the top menu toolbar and selecting ‘Bookmarks Toolbar‘.
  3. Remove all the buttons in it by right-clicking each and selecting ‘Delete‘.
  4. When you remove the last button there is, you’ll see the page bouncing up and down or more like a sinusoidal earthquake beat. :P
  5. Get rid of the Bookmarks Toolbar to stop this effect.

I tried this only on Firefox 2.0.0.1, don’t know if it works on other versions as well…

Any ideas why a blank Toolbar would make pages behave like this?

  6. well, when i just start firefox and type an address and press enter, the screen starts bouncing as you said. but it didnt work when i tried in that site. i think that it has got to be something with the theme.

  7. That’s why you need to be using Opera :D Thanks for using my site as an example though. Maybe I’ll subtlely slip a link to your blog into one of my post some day :P

  8. Actually I encountered it on your site :P

    But I myself cant encounter it anymore, perhaps the increment recently got it fixed heh… or it was some other weird thing :)
