The downside.
Aug. 27th, 2004 07:34 pmAs 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".)
