Here's another one ... in the old Firefox when clicking on a found link
in a Google image search there used to be a side-frame with a direct
link to the image rather than waiting for the entire original website
to load (very handy since I'm still on a dial-up connection.

In the new(er) Firefox, there is now side-frame and I'm forced to wait
for the website to load.  :-(
