How do I keep my place on a page when I hit the back button?
In other words, say I'm scrolling down a list of links from 1-30. I hit link #8, read it, and then want to go back and continue scrolling down the list. When I go back, though, Firefox has lost my place and sends me to the top of the list. I think this started happening with the latest version of FF. Anyone have a fix? Thanks!

Hi keppela,
try instead of normal clicking a link to click it with your mousewheel.

That just opens the link in a new tab. I guess it's one solution, but not the one I was looking for. I'm looking for a way to tell Firefox to keep my place on the page if I go to another link and then hit "back" to return. It used to do that, but seems to have lost that functionality.
It still works fine in my copy of Firefox.
Try if this bug only affects some specific websites or if it affects every site. Start for example with this site.

Interesting. You're right. It doesn't happen when I click away from this site and then return. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's the specific website I was thinking of and not Firefox. Unfortunately, I have to use that site all the time for work. I'll try contacting their webmaster. Thanks for your help.
