Also, for the original poster, you can run "firefox -safe-mode" to start with all extensions and themes disabled. If your problems go away in this mode, then you know there's a problem with an extension or theme. (Just a shot in the dark, no idea how many extensions you have installed.) >> It's more the scroll bar than anything else.
