I do research for several issues and one of the MAJOR PROBLEMS is that many have long pages, may be 4 or 10 screens long as the above story on housing tells us and is some 8 screens long the page keeps reloading as it is from yahoo news and so I keep loosing my place as I try to read it.

How nice it would be to have a line number to the right in the tab so I could make note of the fact that I am at 49 is this or that and that I am reading at 150 and so when the page reloads - I do NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER WHEN IT RELOADS to up date some feature, I could at least be able to see that I was at line 183 and go there to continue to read the story - which is very good, by the way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load the page
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
see how long the page is

Expected Results:
