I’m usually the one to give the technical help, but now I turn to everyone for my own technical help as I can’t find this answer anywhere – but I’m still looking.

I am using Firefox to access Outlook Web Access and everything works just fine. But I noticed somewhere along the line, I think with the beta of Firefox 3, that the cursor goes to the bottom of an email when I click on reply. It used to go to the top, which is where I want it.

I don’t want to get in to a debate on top posting vs bottom posting, as I understand the history of usenet, etc., but Outlook has conditioned us that use it to post replies at the top of the reply instead of the bottom. I’ve been digging through Google looking for how to get FF version 3 to let me reply at the top of my email but I have yet to find anything.

Anyone?

UPDATE: I failed to mention that this works as expected when using Safari, but I am testing Firefox.

Unfortunately , no. I am in the same boat where all I can find is the question. The Mozilla forums gave me a glimmer of hop, but it ended up being a solution on how to do this for their mail client. Making the same changes in FF did not eliminate the issue. It is frustrating. I ended up back with WebKit for now, but would like to be able to use Firefox as it works better for me when I use Citrix.

Any luck? I have the same problem and was "googling" to find an answer and all I can find is your question.

By the way, I just tested FF 3.1 alpha and it behaves the same way.
