Default Strange Shaking In Firefox


I have an odd problem with is sort of difficult to really explain, in Firefox
(either 1.5 or 2.0 RC 2 and 3, when I either open up the browser to the
homepage, or with the majority of browsing, the contents of the website will
sort of shake or bounce up and down. Typically I would associate this type
of behaviour with spyware however it has occured with 3 clean installs of
firefox, and IE 7 works just fine, and this was almost right after a fresh
install of Vista RC2 Build 5744.

All builds of Firefox worked splendid in a Win XP SP2 environment but for
some reason I cant get any of them to not display this odd shaking.

The weirdest part of all, is this only happened when I did a clean
installation of Vista

When I did an upgrade from XP To Vista (which I later formatted) it was
working fine.

Anyone have any clues as to where to look to find a solution, tried
searching around with no luck unfortunately.

It is from an empty toolbar "Bookmarks"

Go to View-Toolbars and unselect Bookmarks

or

Add a link to the bookmarks menu

If you close the bookmarks toolbar, it will probably show back up again the
next time you open Firefox. I also experienced this behavior on Vista, but
I haven't so far on 5744.
