latex and footnotes

In latex if you have a footnote and a figure with b (bottom) placement attribute on the same page, then the figure will be placed under the footnote. The result is really ugly....

I was searching for a way to fix this. Of course the straight-forward solution is to use the h (here) attribute in the figure and put the figure's code in the position you want, but this is not the best thing to do.

Well.. there is a way to force the footnotes to be always placed at the bottom of the page. You can do this by using the footmisc-package. By using this package you can change the default typesetting of footnotes. If you include the line:
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}
in latex preamble you get the desired footnotes behavior.

    It didn't help me. I have twocolumn article. I experience wrong order of images (i.e. fig. 7 before 6) besides one float below a footnote.

    In case someone else is suffering with twocolumn, floats, and footnotes...
    It worth a try to use the following

    \usepackage{ftnright}
    \renewcommand\footnoterule{\vspace*{-3pt}%
    \hrule width 2in height 0.4pt
    \vspace*{2.6pt}}
