<p>That was literally the only time I was confronted with that feature. It took a while to figure out what was even happening and then how to avoid it. Even with my current knowledge, I would be hard pressed to find the relevant section in the firefox user documentation.</p>
<p>And this seems to be a general problem with complex software (browsers, *office, gimp etc.): You can start using them without reading any documentation, but when strange complex things happen or when you need more in-depth information on some feature, the answer will more likely be found in a stackoverflow posting or something, not the built in documentation.</p>
<p>Of course it would be a huge effort to always write and maintain such comprehensive and in-depth documentation, so I am not complaining.</p>
