Who else here gets annoyed by the unpredictable behavior of the cursor in all web browsing programs and web pages. Whether it's IE or Firefox or whatever, sometimes you load a page, and you click somwhere, only to see the cursor jump to some search field. Or while a page is loading, you try clicking in the address bar and it doesn't stay put. Or when you do pick something, it automatically highlights everything in the field, so you have to do a double click to get off of the highlight, and then you don't time it right and you end up quintuple clicking or something like that.
I know it's handy sometimes, like when you load google and you just start typing because the cursor autmotically goes to the search field. But it's generally more annoying than not. At least to me. I don't like all these webpages coercing me to do this and that, even if they think it's more convenient. I'll click where I want to click, when I want to click.
Also, some of these google plugins for firefox could be done better, in my opinion. Like the google bar, sometimes I'll start typing and it drops down a box of recent history, but I can't keep on typing. I have to go press escape and then I can start typing again.
OK, rant over.
