If wireless mouse, unplug the receiver and plug it back in. I had the same issue as you and that was the only fix. Even reboots didn't fix it. <div><br></div><div>As for the issue with Facebook. Seems a memory leak from their code. Why someone would want Facebook open that much is beyond my understanding, but there probably isn't a fix you can use. With all their Ajax calls going on, it's going to cause issues. <span></span><br>

Is smooth scrolling turned on in Firefox (I think it is on by
default since 12.10)? It can consume a lot of CPU. You can turn it
off through Edit>Preferences>Advanced>(general tab) Uncheck
'use smooth scrolling'. You could try turning off hardware
acceleration too if that is causing problems, though normally you'd
want that left on.<br>

even arrow keys, making it impossible to use.. <br>

Hi Art, <br>
I've a fresh install of 12.10 and have no problems scrolling
Ubuntu Forums with Firefox or Chromium. I've had some
different problems with graphics drivers and dropped back to
the default supported X.org X server display driver to test if
the driver was the issue. Could It be a mouse driver issue ?
In Setttings, does Mouse and Touchpad recognise your mouse? <br>

I don't have a problem with ubuntuforums but I do have a very
similar problem with Facebook. Firefox is my main browser
(currently 18.01). it will start off normally and I can access
facebook without a problem but over a period of 24 hours (my PC
runs 24\7) Facebook will become unusable, cpu usage is bouncing
all over the place and scrolling is jerky. I normally I have to
close just the Facebook tab give it a few seconds and then
restart Facebook in a new tab. All other sites I access are OK,
I have had this problem for about the last 4 version of Firefox
that has been released, annoying but I just live with it. <br>
