I just DL'd the browser, and I like it. I was skeptical at first b/c I heard the other Mozilla browsers were slow, but when Corey gave it his approval, I knew it had to be good. I wasn't disappointed.

Corey, you might want to take Opera for a test drive. The free version has an ad banner, but it hasn't bothered me in 4 yrs using it. It restores sessions, so if the pc or browser crashes & you have 15 tabs open, it'll restore all the pages when you start it back up. You can set pages to auto-refresh at different intervals. When you hold the right button down, each click of the left botton goes back one page, nice for backing out of multi-page threads or commerce sites.

Just learned tonight what tabs are, and they are pretty cool.
I am a diehard IE 6 user, but like the way FIreFox loads pages quicker.
Also I have noticed with IE when surfing the forum here a few things.
Sometimes when going to the "view new posts" feature, the page starts out squished looking while the smilies and other things load, and this is with my fast cable connection.
This does not happen with FireFox at all, the page simply loads super fast.
This will not replace IE for me though, as FireFox is having issues on my homepage where I have my JAVA table of contents.
Some of the green buttons you click on are blank, or refuse to load all the way.
With IE that is not a problem.
The thing I like the most is the speed of it.
Having a built in pop up blocker is nice too.

That's the "head" of the bug that's driving you nuts. There have been a number of things that have to change in order for it to be fixed. It kinda' became a core design oops.
But, fear not! It's closer than ever:

The bug has been fixed, and it's making it's way to the various development branches. It should show up at the "nightly builds" site (http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/) soon.

More info!
The bug described at:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217120
...was migrated to the FF branch builds on the 11th. But, the symtpom is still there. I reported it as such and am told that what's happening here on YT is actually the result of different bug:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215405
The root of this problem is that FireFox is treating the page's request to "not store control information" literally, and it's not storing ANY information, such as previous cursor position.
They're aware of the issue though...

Thanks for the update Mark.
I like this guy's post from your 2nd link.
My thoughts exactly, that is why I won't use Firefox until this snafu is fixed.
It is just to frustrating when reading 7 pages of new posts when I come home every night.

I have a lot of IE users to "convert".
After a very short test they all find this bug and
have a very strong reason to stay with IE ;-(
