Status: NEW

Results: Double clicking the scroll bar in the upper half of 
the search results window loads the intersecting result.  

Double clicking the scroll bar should do nothing special.

Do we know why this suddenly became a problem for nytimes.com in Firefox 3?  (All the recent dups are about nytimes.com, and the latest says the problem didn't occur in Firefox 2.)

Will this bug be fixed? Will there be an announcement if and when that happens? Will we have to wait for a new version of Firefox before it is fixed? I'm also finding that since the latest version, when I'm typing an email, my cursor will frequently move to the middle of another line. It may just be my laptop but I'm a strong believer in proximate cause and, as I said, this started happening right after I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox.

There won't be an announcement or press release, but since you're CC'ed to this bug, you'll get mail when it's fixed :)

This, coupled with bug 457493, makes the NY Times site very annoying in FF. Bug 457493 causes the page to scroll too far when using the space bar or PgDn. Clicking on the UP arrow of the scroll bar twice to get back where you should be triggers this bug.
