I've bookmarked the page

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox at the position of my interest: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox#w_changing-results-on-the-fly

When I go to this bookmark, Firefox positions the page correctly, than quickly jumps 1 screen upper.

Fig. 1 (time-ordered): Top of the screen with the reference marked as visited. Fig. 2: What I see after clicking the reference (position is almost OK: the fixed at the top nav. bar hides the paragraph beginning). Fig. 3: What I see finally after clicking the bookmark (the same ref.!): 1 screen above target. Also, this position is shown after reloading the page, properly positioned when following the internal ref.

Firefox 95.0.2 (32-bit), Win10.
