Post #224,034 by broomberg 9/9/05 9:49:15 PM Reply	Firefox annoyance My firefox v 1.0.4 on Mepis Linux / KDE just started doing something different. I must have toggled a setting without realizing it. When I click on the web page merely to place "focus" on it, a cursor appears. This is new. The cursor is screwing me up because I like to "page down" using the space bar. But now it merely does nothing, unless I use the Alt-Tab key to bounce between apps and move the focus back without clicking on the page. How can I revert to the old behaviour?

As Ashton noted, it's a good one.
