    So awesome! I knew that I could do this with Chrome, maybe because the transitions make it more obvious, but I didn’t know or remember that I could do this Firefox.

    Thanks for the tip!

      Me too…I wasn’t sure if Firefox did it before or not, but the new version works fine. Chrome is pretty smooth though. Wonder when Microsoft will implement it in IE?
