Loading a single page from a link on a page stops you from scrolling down and continuing to read the first page? You need to look at your system Tim. You have something very wrong. I have forty online comics, from several newspapers, that I can load in Firefox all at the same time while I read the articles on the news site and I don't have a scroll problem. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkfQXC4ACgkQAO0wNI1X4QFj9QCeNjDArBLulTBS9cQ4m/8BsKUE vc8AoIulOWHEJ2qIeQ974zYrQ0K8Xb9V =Q8dC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
