Playing RuneScape on Firefox 3.6 now has Scroll Bars

[XxTearGodxX]

Be warned, if you upgrade to Firefox 3.6 when you play RuneScape you'll have horizontal and vertical scroll bars. I made a topic in the RuneScape Tech Support forums about it hoping to grab a mods attention so that they can put out a fix for this ASAP.

 

If you are already experiencing this issue, feel free to post in my topic and report that you have the issue as well then hopefully Jagex will see it and patch it up.

Lol I'm still on the old Firefox 3, but they already released the 3.6? I hope it's not too unstable, reason I didn't upgrade to 3.5. I also think it's better sending this information to Mozilla rather than Jagex since 3.6 just got out.

Using 3.7a1pre here and I've yet to encounter a single stability issue. Can't vouch for 3.6 but I would assume it is pretty stable.

It's in beta, sbrideau.

It was released officially yesterday :)

Can't test RS right now, but I don't think it's a problem with Firefox 3.6 or Jagex's coding. Might just need a reboot or something?

3.6 beta was out a loooooooooooooooooong time ago. But issues like those scrollbars and frequent crashes made me go back to 3.5.

 

EDIT: I just went to help -> check for updates and saw 3.6! Didn't know you were talking about regular 3.6.

I have Firefox 3.6, and I am also experiencing this problem. It only happens when I click something outside RuneScape, then click something in RuneScape. Until Mozilla releases a fix for it, I would recommend playing in full screen mode.

I've downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6, and don't seem to be encountering this issue. Does it only occur under certain circumstances?

In my case, I have to click something outside the RS window (e.g. another Firefox tab or window) then click something in RS to get it to happen.

Here is a little user script I made that resolves this issue. Make sure you have Greasemonkey. You can install it directly here.

 

The simple JS (runescape_eye_saver.user.js):

 

// ==UserScript==
// @name           RuneScape Eye Saver
// @namespace      http://www.runescape.com
// @description    Gets rid of the damn top bar and scroll bars.
// @include        *world*.runescape.com*
// @include        *runescape.com/game.ws*
// ==/UserScript==

document.getElementById('gametable').deleteRow(0);
document.body.scroll = "no";

While searching the RSOF, I found a fix. Go to about:config and toggle browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to true and change the browser.display.focus_ring_width value to 0.

Yeah I forgot to come back in this topic to post that fix. Now I'm dealing with a new issue after the latest RuneScape update that's not only a Firefox issue but a Chrome issue as well. When switching tabs the screen flashes white for a split second a few seconds after you've switched tabs.
