"Mozilla mucking me about"

Hi all,
I got Mozilla recently (had it about a month now) and I am very impressed. But, I am on the verge of uninstalling it due to any flash or quicktime content on sites being 'jumpy'. It is not like this in IE, and when I move the mouse quickly from side to side on screen in Mozilla this fixes the problem while I move the mouse, but it is really anoying. Does anyone know of a perminate fix to this, or of a setting that I haven't changed in the prefferences to fix the error?

Also, why do some pages come up as HTML code rather than being a page as they are supposed to be and as they do in IE?

All help is much aprecieated,
S.A.

Oh, wait, it seems to now have slowed flash to a standstill now, so bye bye activeX. The problem still exists.

Well, it sorted flash anyway, which was what was bothering me.

I have sorted it! I got the Mozilla Active X plugin which has delt with the problem.

And by ME I mean Windows ME rather than, er, me.

Aaagghh, my eyes.

I didn't get any slowdown on this page, just a headache. I'm using XP so maybe it's ME that's the problem. Still, it's pretty strange that you seem to be the only person in the world with this problem.

You should get the mouse gestures plugin, by the way, it rules.

then you haven't. that's one of the great things about browsers that AREN'T IE: "if you don't know about it, then it wasn't installed" so if you haven't physically installed any extensions then you don't have them. so that's my crummy theory out the window :)

good luck solving your problem mate...

I have just tried netsacpe, which also does it.

I've found something else which does it from another post on this site. Sorry in advance for this but www.buck1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk . This funny title bar code also causes this strange slowdown that cand only be delt woth by moving the mouse.

To my knowleage I have no extensions installed, but I cant seem to find anywhere which tells me if I have any installed.

it's a long shot, but do you have that "mouse gestures" extension installed?

if so, maybe it's causing some conflict with the flash input?
