When scrolling posts on Facebook, there are random jumps up to 6 new posts forward. It is necessary to scroll back and look for the last displayed post (photo, video, txt). It looks like firefox doesn't remember the last displayed position before updating the cache. It is very annoying because there is always a flicker.

I'm getting unwanted scrolling in both directions, both half a dozen posts forward and sometimes backward. I'll start writing a comment and suddenly the screen jumps back two or three screens. Or I'll try to open a link only to have the screen jump ahead a few screens, so I have to scroll back to where I was and then am hesitant to click on anything since I expect to be thrown through another wormhole. It's also a pain finding anywhere I can actually insert issues like this. For now I'm just going to go back to Safari. It doesn't seem to clutter up my machine with dozens of phantom browser sessions as quickly as Firefox and Chrome do.

Has this not seemed much more common sense Artificial Intelligence was implied?!? The programming is not helping users, whatsoever. Do you agree?

I really can't answer that, because I don't know when the inception date of "AI" might have been. Also, to my thinking, Artificial Intelligence requires that the computer program(s) be heuristic, capable of intelligible conversation and able to function independently once initiated. What is often being called "AI" today is nothing more than animation and picture doctoring. But, I have had issues with browsers either spawning multiple sessions of themselves and/or not closing unused sessions until they take up so much of the memory in the machine that they choke out all other functions as well as themselves, forcing the user to reboot the machine for years. And this has been true of not just Firefox. They all do it, some worse and more quickly than others. But they all bloat their memory usage until they choke the machine. And this needs to be addressed, preferably by the operating systems, but by the browser programmers for every platform.

Can you tell that is what I meant on the post, just underneath of this one? (November the 18th, 2024, 17:13 EST)
