When I hit the back button, how do I get the webpage to get back to where I was, and not the top of the page?

When I click on a link and then hit the 'back' button, instead of automatically taking me to the place on the page where I clicked the link, it takes me all the way back to the top of the page. How do I change this? In the older versions of Firefox it went back to where I clicked.

Right click the Back button and choose the page you want to go to from the list.


N.B. I noticed that your Flash installation is out of date which exposes your system to attack. See: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-18.html

That's not the problem. It's not which page, it's where in the page. Say I'm halfway down a page when I click on a link - when I go back, I end up back at the top of the page instead in the middle, where I clicked. That's what I'm trying to find out how to fix - how to get me back to the area of the page, not which page.

Solved it myself. I had to reset the scroll.
