I just discovered firefox and love it except for one thing, scrolling. Scrolling with the arrow keys is incredibly slow and if i use the mouse wheel its really jumpy. Is the a preference somewhere where i can check a box to fix this? Does anyone else notice this?

[DeathMan]

yeah, its good, but not for the forums. No spell check, crappy scrolling. I think there is a scroll speed thing (I could be thinking of Mozilla), but if I recall, it doesn't help with the jumpyness.

Scrolling is not picnic with safari either though. At least not on an 800mhz iBook.

Although my primary browser is OmniWeb, I occasionally fall back to Firefox when a page doesn't render correctly or makes OW crash. It usually renders everything nice & fast, but the interface is just hideous IMHO.

Mouse wheel scrolling is just fine for me. When I don't have my mouse I use fn+arrow keys.

i have to use firefox in my workplace because safari doesn't work with our proxy server. And actually firefox is not really bad, sometimes i even feel it displays much faster than safari.

I use firefox on my mac and with windows xp and mandrake and have the same jumpy scroling problem on all three. Other than that I really like it much better than everything else ive used especially the rss feed.

My wife uses Firefox occasionally, like the browser.

I prefer Camino myself. If it integrated spell check, it would be my only browser.

Anyone else have huge slowness when posting? Its all those smilies. I have to scroll up so they're not visible just to type.

YEAH I KNOW

I thought I was the only one with this problem

they HAVE to fix this before 1.0.. it wasn't there before!!!!!!!

it's the ONLY thing that prevents me from using it

I use it, but not on my Macs. It is a million times better than IE on a PC, but I still like Safari or OmniWeb better on the Mac, mainly because of the interface.

I do keep a copy installed for pages that Safari and OmniWeb can't display, though.

Safari is giving me problems with secure sites and it can't have the homepage set to a bunch of tabs, so I use Firefox on my Mac, PC, and Debian box.

[Cadaver]

Firefox is my PC's browser and OmniWeb 5.1 is my Mac's.

That's a well-known issue with Safari, but I've never seen it in Firefox.

I use Firefox for both browsing the web on Mac and PC. I like the left-hand bookmarking, password remembrance and quick rendering. It's a sweet browser for both platforms.

I was using it on my mac, but switched back to safari after the latest update broke some javascript at a site I frequent. I use firefox as my default browser on my PC.

I use it on my PC. It seems to render pages a whole lot faster than Safari on the Mac. Is there any speed test? That's one complaint that I've heard frequently about Mac, that page rendering is slower than on a PC. Any comparison between Mac and PC FireFox, or Mac FireFox and PC Internet Explorer?

firefox on the PC, safari on the Mac it's OK. i haven't found if i could import my favorites from safari to firefox yet, so for the time being, i'm using safari.

[MilkmanDan]

I've tried every browser out for OS X and keep going back to Safari. Good old safari.
