As xxxxx mentioned, Mozilla released a new version of firefox browser that should help with this bouncing text/slow internet problem.

However unlike the updates this new version doe NOT happen automatically! You need to go to the mozilla firefox webs page and download it.

enhancements to increase speed:

Noticed an immediate increase in speed. I highly recommend.

Update: Another member of our forum has also noticed an immediate and significant increase in internet speed.

HUGE improvement in speed!!!

I got off of Mozilla Firefox and used another internet browser. I was moving along like lightening.

I have a vague idea with what my problem with firefox but i don't want to mess with it anymore. I understand that firefox can be absolutely fine on someone else's computer. In fact it continues to work fine on my old computer.

But, for me, switching browsers made a huge improvemnt.

Thanks again to everyone who supplied me with helpful feedback and instructions over the years.
