Re: Slightly OT: has Firefox scrolling behaviour changed?

I am glad they fixed that "bug".  The absolute setting it did have was
generally useless on larger web pages, and on smaller web pages as Tim
says, it was impossible to figure out where you wanted to be.  I am
not entirely sure who thought it was a good idea, or how they tested
it given it was unusable.
