Yes, those are my gripes as well. Also, I don't like it when I sort of know where I am due to the scrollbar position and size, and when I scroll down past some point this suddenly changes. Of course the websites that offer this feature should have some preference that allows the user to get rid of it. Until then, we have seen several times in the browser world that browsers started to offer features to disable irritating website behaviour, that is why I ask. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
