Slightly OT: has Firefox scrolling behaviour changed?

Until recently, Firefox had a feature I really liked and used a lot: if you clicked anywhere in a scroll bar other than on the slider, it would jump instantly to the top or bottom of the page. This seems to have gone, and clicking just scrolls the way it does in most browsers. Does anyone know if t

I am glad they fixed that "bug". The absolute setting it did have was generally useless on larger web pages, and on smaller web pages as Tim says, it was impossible to figure out where you wanted to be. I am not entirely sure who thought it was a good idea, or how they tested it given it was unus

Re: Newbie question on mdadm

I intentionally partitioned my 3tb drives into 4x750G, and built 4 separate arrays out of it, and used LVM to make it one big device. #1: it allowed me to use 2x1.5tb in place of a 3tb for a while (I had the old 1.5tb ones) prior to me buying more 3tb ones, later on it allowed me to use those 1.5t
