When I am reading a long article, paging down, it is annoying to reach the last page only to find that it is shorter than all the other pages and now my place is lost somewhere in the middle of the screen. I have to hunt for where I left off. I could solve this using the mouse to scroll, and sometimes I do, but I find that more burdensome than just hitting page down. This behavior has existed since the earliest days of the web. It seems to me the easiest way to fix it is for the browser to position the last line of the current page as the first line of the next, no matter what, and fill the rest of the window as needed with blank space. Since I spend most of my web time reading text, consistent text positioning would be a major usability enhancement for me.

== Export/Import Saved Form Information and Cookies ==
Firefox should be capable of exporting and importing a list of saved form information (in the form of a .dat or .txt file) and a list of cookies (in whatever extension deemed fit form Firefox).
This would list the saved form information and cookies in a format readable to humans (like in persdict.dat), rather than the unreadable series of code listed upon opening files such as formhistory.dat.
