| How long is a piece of string?  What you've asked is almost like Gnome

| rendering, to be extremely annoying.  e.g. You're reading some page,
| middle click on a link to load it up in the background in another tab,
| and while that's happening you're stuck, unable to scroll through the
| thing you were currently reading.


Loading a single page from a link on a page stops you from scrolling down
and continuing to read the first page? You need to look at your system
Tim. You have something very wrong.

I have forty online comics, from several newspapers, that I can load in
Firefox all at the same time while I read the articles on the news site
and I don't have a scroll problem.
