Firefox 1.5 "Oh Yes"
Date: 18/10/2005
Out of pure frustration I decided that I would download and install Firefox 1.5 to see if it fixes the "flicker" bug that has been driving me slowly insane for the last 4-5 months. Basically in all the "Designed By Corperate Committee(TM)" sites that I use from time to time cause Firefox 1.0.x to flicker badly when you use the combo drop down fields. Some other part of the page briefly flickers to a new (wrong) position and then back to it's correct position every time the combo box changes value. And when your scrolling through the list of values in the combo box it's a nightmare.

But yay for progress, 1.5 fixes that (so far). So I'm a happy little camper...

Update: My net banking didn't work in 1.5 so back I go into land of pain. Also 1.5 had issues with some pages, spraying javascript goop into the visible document. Ok not ready for prime time then.

Haven't you yet considered Opera? Their latest version is now ad-free. I have never seen a flicker in Opera, but maybe my eyes are not that good. Just a thought :-)
