[Bug 371106] [NEW] Scrolling by pressing bottom arrow in scrollbar causes strange behaviors

[mikesmithv]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On the site http://slashdot.org/ scroll by clicking repeatedly on the
down-arrow of the vertical scrollbar.  Every day somewhere around the
middle it will jump several articles with one click.  It seems to be
related to certain ad's going by but I'm not sure of that.

Another related problem happens if you press the same down-arrow button
and leave it pressed for continuous scrolling.  As the web page scrolls
the window will suddenly dim and a message appears saying "Firehose
Paused due to inactivity".  These problems don't happen in Windows XP
using the same version of Firefox.
