Firefox Pages are "Jumpy" (Oh, and my profile was deleted to boot)
Thursday, March 22, 2007
I am currently writing this post in IE7. The reason is that Firefox 2.0.0.2 (I know it wasn't the newest one -- didn't get prompted for some reason) was working great when I put my computer on Standby last night. As of this morning, I opened my browser to find:
1) All my bookmarks were gone
2) Upon closer inspection, I discovered that all but my cache and two other files were deleted from my profile (!!!), meaning no bookmark backups or the like
3) Pages are "jumpy" -- no matter where I go, the page appears to "jump" up and down, enough that trying to read the page is sure to induce migraines
I tried Firefox's Safe Mode to see if it might relieve the jumping issue, but it still persists -- therefore, it's not any of my extensions. I uninstalled FF, copied another profile from my other laptop (thank you Google Browser Sync!), and reinstalled FF 2.0.0.3 with the new profile contents. 'Lo and behold, I could import my bookmarks just fine -- but the jumping still won't go away. I am frustrated, to say the least...anyone else have a similar issue, or know of someone else who did?
