I hate how when you follow a link then press back, it doesn't automatically scroll back to where you were like IE does. That's reason enough for me not to use it.

It's a bit like the Windows/Linux thing. People who 'think' they're cool use FF/Linux.

I use FF because IE7 has everything in the wrong place. And I have NoScript which stops Javascript and that type of blah running when I look at porn

That scrolly back issue is annoying though I'll give you that.

IE7 for everything else, opera for the porn

Mouse gestures are handy when opening loads of pictures in new tabs

I find it funny how people argue on the internet about which browser is better. How trivial

The only site it has ever done it on is CS. I've looked through the code but I can't figure out why.

Fixed for CS.

It's not the page source -- it's the HTTP headers than affect this behaviour (lets us control what browsers will and will not cache/store).

I'm in IT yet I prefer IE7. It works for internet browsing, fact.

I have all of the others on my machine for testing though.

Nice one.

What exactly was the problem? I work as a web developer and never seen it before so very curious.

Cheers Tim.

IE lets in so much cack, though! I used to get infected all the time in my 10 years of using IE and nothing since installing Firefox... and yes, I have always been very careful and generally know quite a bit about the web.

Little things like, "Copy Image Location" when right-clicking a image -- subtle but helps so much.

HTTP header 'Cache-Control' defaults to 'no-store'. I've set a header to allow 'store', which lets the browsers remember things like the x,y coords of where you were on the page. It still won't allow caching so you'll always get the latest version of a topic...
