    Of course it is, which is why the Firefox Myths page is so important.

    I'm not getting into the debate over which browser is better. They all have their merits, but a lot of why things look different in some browsers than others is down to web design coding I think.

    For example, if I look at my User CP in Firefox, the subscribed threads/forums box scrolls right over the white background into the grey. And yet in Internet Explorer it doesn't. (Two screenshots follow - the first from within Firefox.) Ideally, it should look the same in BOTH browsers.

    I checked and Opera looks the same as IE.

    Since this thread is about Firefox, I am too lazy to create one so I am going to post here. Hope you ppl wont mind. Found this... http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/14/2154224&from=rss

    According to that page, the solution is:
    type about:config in you address bar and scroll down to browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers and set its value to 0 (zero)

    I am an opera user so I would be happy if any FF users could give it a try. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Liw
