daniewicz Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) I am using Firefox 1.0 on Mandrake 10.0. I have noticed that the vertical scrollbar does not function when a page is being loaded. During the page loading process, I can scroll with my mouse wheel but not with the scrollbar. This behavior does not occur when using Konqueror. This behavior also does not occur when using Mozilla 1.7 on Windows 2000. I have googled extensively and posted on MozillaZine, no solution found. This is a minor annoyance, and one that will become even more minor when I finally dump dialup and start using DSL But it still annoys me..........

daniewicz Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Is anyone else experiencing this annoyance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 In my case the vertical scrollbar appears only when the page is completely loaded, maybe it checks the page size in order to determine if it needs scroll bar or not, but while the page was being loaded I shifted to the other tab with another url already loaded and the scroll bar was working perfectly.

daniewicz Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 In my case the vertical scrollbar appears only when the page is completely loaded Interesting. I wonder why your Firefox does this and mine does not. Do you use a user.js? Anything special added to insure this behavior? I have done much user.js voodoo over the last few months. It may well be that there is something in my user.js that is causing the scrollbar to appear prior to full page load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 True. I don't get a scrollbar till the page is fully loaded either. Plus my pages load so fast (cable) it's hard to tell. Maybe if you moved some place like Oxford, that would help. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ahhh....An Ole Miss Rebel Here in cowtown I just got DSL installed today, so maybe the scrollbar thing won't bother me so much anymore. I suspect I have something in my user.js that is causing the annoyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm actually more in USM territory...though I don't follow MS college football too much. (I'm a Wolverine fan) and I don't watch any other college sports. Good luck with your DSL and hopefully that solves your annoyances. If you need a halfway basic user.js, I'll be happy to send you one or post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Try this: 1. Type "about:config" in the adress field. 2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true". 3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100". 4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true" 5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
