scrolling in flash heavy websites is staggered

[Abhijeet]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

1) Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009.
2) Firefox 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
3) Smooth scolling of web page
4) Whenever there is a flash heavy website like, Facebook applications or say www.ndtv.com, the content is displayed properly but the scrolling is very staggered. It appears as if the content is being pushed and it moves with an inertia like movement.

Many bad Firefox behaviors are in fact caused by one of the many third-party 'themes', 'extensions' and 'plugins'. These will go away with a new profile - that is, when Firefox is restored to default settings and without any extensions and themes. You do not need to delete your old profile to test.
Could you please try with a new profile and let us know if that helps?

I was using a Firefox add on Persona for Firefox 1.1. As per your suggestion, I disabled it and the problem has been fixed. However, I would appreciate if I can browse such sites even with Persona themes on. Thanks, nevertheless, for the prompt solution.

This bug report is being closed due to your last comment regarding this being fixed by disabling the Personas extension. You might want to contact the developer of the personas extension about the conflict you discovered. Since it is not packaged by Ubuntu, there is nothing more that we can do.

Thank you again for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please submit any future bugs you may find.
