Can anyone assist or offer advice with the following problem which only started a few days ago but which makes browsing extremely frustrating.
Basically when viewing a webpage, the whole page jumps down to the very bottom every minute or so. I then have to scroll back up using the side bar slider/up arrow or use PAGE UP on the keyboard.
I have started using a wireless mouse in the last few weeks but this problem started after this. In fact whilst writing this post, the page jumped down to where ADDITIONAL OPTIONS are, below this input box.
Its a mystery.........any clues????

It's obviously mouse related. Are you click the scroll wheel or any other additional buttons the new mouse has? Clicking the scroll wheel puts the mouse/browser combo into scroll mode...0

I'm using a cheap bluetooth mouse and sometimes get this. I thought it was other bluetooth devices interfering but now I think it is the mouse going haywire for some reason as by momentarily disconnecting the battery the problem goes away. BTW I doubt it is the browser as I'm using FireFox.
My cheap mouse is an Epox BT-MS02B which cost me ~ £6 delivered from a Hong Kong eBay seller but since then they seem to be more expensive.0 -

I do not have to be even touching the mouse, or clicking anything for this jumping to happen..it does it all on its own, every minute, on the minute!0 -

Thanks, I will try disconnecting the battery and re-set the mouse to se if it stops it.0
