Queer Firefox feature
 

I want that thing that slides up at the bottom right of the screen informing me that my forefox downloads are complete to go away. It 100%'s my CPU usage ;_;. I've had a look around the firefox extensions and plugins sites but come back empty handed ;_; I'm not really sure what I should be searching for there.

I've never really noticed before, but I just recently started getting some sheet music so it comes up and down every few seconds, usually them overlapping each other. I have to wait each time for it to finish before I can really do anything.

My CPU is a duron at 1500Mhz by the way. Not blazing fast I agree, but still :(

....what?

Your issues aren't with Firefox. What your issue IS is your Antivirus (probably Norton, no?) scanning the file as soon as it's done downloading.

Wait, how is that Queer?

I use AVG. With it off, it still does it. It's just the "downloads complete" thing sliding up and then sliding back down off the screen. It does it slowly (about 2 seconds either way.) and it's animated so smooth it takes up all of my CPU.

I wouldn't mind the feature if it didn't result in what's described above.

I thought maybe the notifier is dependant on the theme you're using (I've been using MiniFox since I can remember) so I tried a different skin and it's still the same problem :(

Have you ever tried disabling that notification feature? I usually turn off all useless animations that attempt to make things look better. Do you have a GPU in your system?

Oh man, thanks for your help people but after some investigating I've got it sussed. It's the "Smooth Scrolling" thing it seems. I love it for webpages, but it seems to do it for the "downloads have finished" notice also. What a bitch. I guess I'll just disable it for now until the dTA extension is fixed for 1.5.0.1 :(
