This is a good idea, but I think it should be a 'quite' feature. I mean, when I bookmark the page the position is automatically saved, no need to specify that I want to remember that. It would be somewhat disturbing if you bookmark while looking at the end of a page and it wasn't your intention however...
Hm, yeah. How about [x] Remember location in page in the bookmark properties dialog? (Of course, that's assuming it's even possible with Gecko...)
Should be, it's almost like pressing back.
I think Evince opens a document on the last viewing position, even if it's the end of a page, and I don't hear much complaints about that. I'm against an extra checkbox for a tiny option like this, let's just do the Right Thing(tm).
Agree with comment #4. So is this possible with gecko? What should be changed?
Hmm, I think this is too complex, sorry.
