  i've seen some trivial but fairly new oddities as well.  as i
mentioned before, the scroll bar doesn't seem to act consistently.
once upon a time, if i clicked way down the scrollbar to page down,
firefox would, well, page down.  once.  now, fairly regularly, it will
blow through a massive amount of scrolling down.  immediately
thereafter, though, it will go back to what i recall as normal
behaviour.
