First impression of Firefox 3:

  They finally fixed the problem which happens with anchors. In all earlier
versions when there was a long page with images, and you loaded an url to
that page and the url had an anchor (ie. # followed by the name of the
anchor at the end of the url), the browser would immediately jump to the
location of the anchor in the page as soon as the page contents were
loaded. The problem is that the images in the page have yet not all been
loaded, and when they load, they change the layout of the page, making
the location of the anchor in that page to go down. In the worst case it
would go out of the visible part of the page.

  Firefox 3 seems to have fixed this. It first jumps to the anchor, and
after all the images have loaded and the layout of the page settled, it
jumps there again. That way you will see what you were supposed to see
even after the layout of the page changes because of the images.
