One thing I find a bit of a bind about AB is the need to open a new screen to see the answers to a question. How about having a "preview pane" option in another frame so that you can click on a question in one pane and see the detail/answers in another. That would allow quicker filtering of questions/answers which are of interest. (Similar to a preview pane in e-mail engines)
I find that tabbed browsing (using Firefox) is the answer.
I scan the list of questions in a particular Topic and open any that interest me in a new tab.
When I've read or answered a question I close that tab.
I too use Firefox, and do use tabbed browsing as suggested from time to time on AB. You still need to keep closing the tabs when you've finished, though - better if you could get new questions to open in the same second tab window.
