Bug Description

I use Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy and FF with the Swedish translation.
I have found this little annoying fenomen i firefox 2.0.
If I try too following a link from a web page
sometime I just end up at the top of the same page,
instead of going to the new location.
It only happen if I have scrolled down a bit on the page.
It will not happen if I click in the page with the mouse first.

I confirm this behaviour.

My firefox (spanish translation with the extensions "adblock filterset.G updater", "adblock plus" and "flashblock") also ocasionally goes to the top of the page when clicking a link. So far I haven't experienced the same with epiphany, although I have used it for a couple of minutes.

BTW: Can the affected package be chaged to "firefox"?

 After running FF in safe-mode with all extensions disabled I can still
recreate the bug.
But I can't say if this is only affecting the Ubuntu-build of FF 2.0.

I've been trying (not too hard, though) to get a pattern for replication, but without success. About "stock" firefox, I had no "links scroll to top of the page" incidents, but I had only one yesterday with the ubuntu build. Any news?

Today I got an update of FF to 2.0.0.1 and with some other updates related to FF it now seems like this annoying bug is gone.
