If you use Firefox 3 and the latest Java you may have noticed the game flickered often. I've updated the game window to prevent this.

If anyone has any problems with the game window please post your browser details and describe the problem.

Great job

Yh i have this problem still actually i didnt think nothing off it but it is annoying tbh

Firefox 3 java version 6 update 11 (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
game window flickers all the way through the duration while i am playing but even more so when i first load the game window and if i open a new window(checking email ect)it flickers or/and i am unable to take a shot,this has been happenning for a few weeks now and i have never had this problem before.

i have tried re-installing java but to no avail

Try pressing refresh (f5) to clear your cache and hopefully reload the game window.

sorry that does not work either

Hmmm, I suspect this is related to Flash, opening email and other browser windows will cause Flash to load. Funkypool also has Flash adverts - but any advert causing significant problems is removed.

You can try this plugin for Firefox 3.

thanks for spending time and effort on this but that does not seem to work either

Yes, I can't really help further as it sounds like a problem specific to your machine.

If you installed some application a few weeks ago it could be the problem, or it's possible it could be a virus.

If you're an XP user you can right click the task bar and choose task manager. You can then click processes and see what is using a high percentage of your processor time.
