My Firefox is bouncing up and down

Right after I got up and running on my laptop, and online, my Firefox windows on certain sites were bouncing up and down. Most sites actually, by about 5 pixels or so, constantly. After about 2 minutes I could feel my eyes strain, so this was the first thing I needed to fix when getting my new laptop settled.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that did nothing. Then, I found a link that gave me my solution. Right after I installed, I had taken out the default bookmarks to the Mozilla site in the Bookmarks toolbar. I didn’t have any links there at all, so apparently the blank space was what was causing the problem. So, if you close the Bookmarks Toolbar (View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar) it will stop bounching if you have no linkes. In my case, I just imported my links from the desktop, and that solved the problem also.
