The browser puts the buttons where they are in this case. But it
doesn't matter. The point is, that many people don't read what they
are clicking. If they see a box that blocks their progress, they click
it away without reading it. That is why Firefox [and /.] have little
timers on the OK buttons for installing addons [and posting comments].

The people who complain that the OK button switches sides just want to
click without thinking. Let the muscle memory do the hard work. The
fact that the button keeps switching sides probably saves them more
trouble than they know!

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
