I've been using FF3 for a while now. Faster than FF2 for sure, but not in everything. I've noticed FF3 scrolls badly when you use fixed positioning on an element on a page.

I'm surprised you even notice stuff like that.  If you got me to try and notice that you would be wasting your time.

Ok, so that wasn't just me.

Wth, so you people must use it instead of hitting the down button on the keyboard.  I find that much easier EXCEPT when I'm specifically trying to get it into the right spot.

Some of us have scroll wheels.

I have a scroll wheel, I just choose not 2 use it because most of the time I have a virtual machine of linux running and I use it for most of the things I do, and the scroll wheel doesn't work in there :/.

Why

[Cameron]

Well, first of all I screwed my linux installation up by updating it, which screwed my graphics card drivers up.  So now its all excrement and when I get around to it i must reinstall it.  But yeh, the scroll doesn't work, dunno why and neither does the arrow keys.  O and I prefer not to use anything in Windows, eg Firefox because of my brother.  I'll leave the machine up and he will use it on all of these random sites.  Then I can't get bloody spyware, etc from it.  You shoulda seen how slow and excrement the old installation of XP was.

My friends just looked at that and said "Are you looking at porn?"

[Laged]

Oh well, at least your friends are clever

Hrm, ctrl+tab should go back to the tab you previously selected, as should closing a tab.  I still don't like the way firefox handles that by default.

I prefer it this way, I can't stand operas default. When I open multiple tabs, I don't want to read one then go back to the original page, I want to read them all.

So if you're reading a forum or something and you open a link in a new tab, you want to end up at some random other tab at the end of the list when you close the link instead of going back to the thread?

[lekky]

my browsing habits are more focused. The latest page is usually to the right. Once i've finished a page i dont need it anymore so it gets closed... then i want to go to the next page i opened at the same time, eventually i'll get back to my original page and continue browsing.

Like checking the forums.

tab 1 = main firm
2= sub-forum
3= sub-forum
4= thread from 2
5= thread from 2

1= sub-forum
2= thread from old 2
3= thread from old 2
4= thread from old 3
5= thread from old 3

etc

[jitspoe]

What if you need to rapidly switch between two tabs?  I do that all the time when checking logs, and I'll usually have like 10 other tabs open.  I don't want to have to tab through all of them just to go back and forth.

[lekky]

I tried using operas default behaviour and it just doesn't suit my browsing habits.

Here you go tho https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/112 Seems like it does what you want

[jitspoe]

I installed a different one that basically does the same thing.  It just seem odd that it has that behavior by default when alt/ctrl-tab in every other program I've used goes back to the last selected item.
