While reading email I select a link which automatically opens in a new Firefox tab as desired and expected. However, often the selected site opens at or towards the bottom of the site. I want Firefox to open all such selected sites at the top. For example, often when I select a site with a story I wish to read, the site opens at the bottom and I then have to scroll or mouse to the top of the site in order to start reading.

Why does Firefox open sites at the bottom? Is there a fix for this situation?

thanx,

ken

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:

You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
