Help?

[conuly]

Firefox has started randomly doing this thing where it always has a blinky cursor on the page in the text. This is making scrolling up and down pages a real hassle, and I don't like it, and I want it to go away again. How can I do that?

Also, does anybody know why I have to manually delete my history when it's set to do so after three days? I've never bothered to ask about that, you know....
