I'll stick with Opera, when reading a thread on FR and when it's refreshed it takes you where you were reading, not to the bottom of the page.

Actually, it takes you to the same percentage down the page that you were before you refreshed. Of course, if you're at the bottom when you do that, you'll end up at the bottom :-)

I, too, find this behavior slightly annoying. I generally check the msg# I'm reading before I refresh, then enter /## to jump me to it.

If I'm at the bottom, say at post 36 and another 15 posts come in and I refresh, it takes me to post 37, not the bottom.

Instead of reloading with the refresh button, reload by clicking on the reply number and that reply will be at the top of the reloaded page. But, you can only do this once and after that, clicking on the reply number will not reload the page. If a thread is moving at a fast enough pace, this isn't a problem and if is moving slow, refreshing with the refresh button isn't nearly as big of a problem. Also, in this case, you can reload by clicking the previous reply number, which puts you almost at the top. Slow loading graphics will throw this technique out of kilter, depending on how many slow loading graphics there are on the thread.

The other problem with FF is the page returns to the top of the thread after posting a reply. The obvious solution is reply in a new window.
