The downside.

[shirenomad]

As much as I'm liking Firefox, there are two quirks that are seriously annoying me (and I'd appreciate anyone who knows of a setting/extension that will fix them).

First, when I hit Back, it goes to the top of the previous page. This is particularly annoying on sites like the RPGamer Board or my LJ Friends Page, where I like to read threads/responses starting at the bottom and work my way up. Both IE and Netscape would remember where, exactly, on the last page I was, but Firefox apparently doesn't, meaning I have to scroll down again.

Second, this is only on one site, but it will give me an alert whenever I visit particular pages. This alert lets me know that it's loading a style sheet. I have to click "okay" to make the alert disappear or view the page. This alert pops up twice for every page. Gets very annoying after a while. (Other Firefox users can see if they're getting the same result by visiting this site and clicking on any of the comics on "www2.uclick.com".)

I hate not being able to drag links into the address bar[when the host doesnt allow directlinking]..I hate copypasting links. Yay for problematic IE!

I don't have either of those problems (I'm using Firefox 0.9.3), so in answer...I'm sure there's a switch somewhere for both of them.

Again, I'm using Firefox and don't have any of those problems (nor do I see any options for them, even after looking in about:config -- though I could be missing something, of course). I only see the alert on the comics once, and looking at the source code it's something written into the site's JavaScript, not part of Firefox itself. If the version you're using is older than the one Surgo mentioned (check about: if you don't know for sure), try downloading a newer version.
