You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

Thanks for your answer cor-el. Have tried the solution but no change to the behavior of the page. But don't worry I can live with the situation, just have to get used to it :)

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Hope you can get into this. If you look at the left hand side of the subject you will see the small arrow which denotes which subject I have scrolled to. I prefer that the screen rolls up or down rather than wait for the arrow to roll down. I can of course get used to this way of doing things. Rgds Stephen

How are we gonna see an image that is stored on your hard drive?

You need to use the Browse... button that appears below the Post a Reply on this page to upload that image to this forum.

Open Firefox -> Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Browsing section -> Remove Checkmark from "Use Autoscrolling" -> Put Checkmark on "Use Smooth Scrolling" -> Click OK

You are of course right. Too early in the morning for me :) Anyway, problem now solved, mha007's solution worked.

That did the trick! Many thanks. :)

i am happy to hear that :D
