Back button returns me to the top of the page, not where I left off

The back button returns me to the top of the page instead of where I left off when using my iPhone. It’s annoying to have to keep scrolling down and waiting for more of the page to load to find where I left off. Any idea how to fix this? Chrome also does this. Shopping on sites like Nordstrom Rack becomes so frustrating.

Hey Lisa,

can you specify on which website you experience such behaviour? I'm afraid if it's a special configuration from the website since I never have such an experience myself.

Nordstromrack.com or Wayfair.com. Most shopping sites.

I can use the back button just fine on those websites. Have you tried in Troubleshoot Mode - Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode? I'm afraid there might be extensions that interfere your experience.

How do I run troubleshoot mode on iOS? I dont think iOS supports extensions

Aah, you're right. I forgot we're talking about Firefox for iOS. Which Firefox version are you using right now?

Hey @irksomeone can you try to update to Firefox 34 and see if it solves your problem?

Hi. Is this issue being looked into?

Am using the latest version of Firefox (38) on iPhone 12 and iOS 14.8, and get the same problem on every website I visit.

As said, it is really frustrating, so any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
