m (consistent text positioning for short pages)

Line 81: Line 81:


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.

== Form Save and Password ==
When entering form information, the information is saved in Firefox's memory until manually deleted. So, we are presented with a choice when typing in personal, confidential info: remember to delete the data and re-type it the next time it is used or just let other people see your personal information. Perhaps there should be a way to save all form entries in a session of Firefox into a file that can be loaded from the History Menu. The form entry data can be protected by a password, similarly to the functioning of the Master Password that protects your other passwords.
