I thought this could be another good thread to have discussion with.

What are some problems you find often with your browser or internet in general? ISP issues? Lan issues? Anything as such can be discussed in this thread.

Sometimes my ISP refuses to let me on at all for a whole day. I have no idea why. I end up leeching off a nearby Wi-Fi (which is reliable as Wi-Fis go, but not as good as my usual connection).

My phone is finicky. Some days it outright refuses data connections.

As for the browser itself, sometimes it freezes up while loading a page, and even crash from time to time. If an alert message, like an unsigned certificate for shifty ads or someone messages me on Skype, if I'm holding a direction to scroll the page, it'll continue to read that the button is held and scroll uncontrollably.

Also, more often than not, when a page finishes loading, it'll rearrange the page, making me lose where I was. An even worse example is when I'm on TVTropes, it'll kick me up to the upper left corner and force me to scroll back to where I was, only for it to do it again!

Combine these issues, and you have one very pissed off Trel.

This.

Also, newer Firefoxes seem to be reviving the ancient IE (?) bug in which the cursor sometimes magically jumps to the first field of a form for no reason, so I end up typing half of my post into the "Thread title" field. Or the cursor will jump outside of the form entirely and my keystrokes will be ignored.

Also, tying into the above since it happens when the cursor mysteriously goes on vacation: I find it annoying that the spacebar is used for "page down". My keyboard has a perfectly functional "Page Down" key, I don't need a common typing key to duplicate its function and send the page flying downward any time the cursor fucks with me.
