Nor do I, but you have found something interesting.
But I have found a way to be _really_ fast browsing: That is to open
Firefox for all the graphic and the 439K small LINKS text browser for the
textinformation I look for - such as mails, newsgroups, etc. And then you
have this option if your graphic mode somehow has collapsed (after you
have tested something). Other use LYNX in stead, but it is not that
powerfull in its amount of facilities, less performence and use 2Mb (also
according to Linux Format magazine). You can get it by: sudo apt-get
install links .
