My homepage is MY MSN and when I go to a certain article and am done with it the browser goes back to the top of the page on MY MSN rather then where I left off

If I am browsing through the subjects on my home page and find one that peeks my interest, I click on it and the browser goes to that site for me to peruse. When I am through with that I hit the return button and on most websites the original page returns to where you were before clicking on the interesting item. Not MY MSN, which is my home page, it returns to the top of MY MSN, which is irritating especially if the items I am interested are a group at the bottom of MY MSN page and I want to read all 5 or 6 of them. How can I get the browser to return to the place I left off?

Try opening the "articles" in a new tab, and when you're done reading each article close the tab. Hopefully the original MY MSN page will maintain the position you left it at (unless that page has an auto-refresh, to add new articles to the list).

Hi Robert, this is a bug that was reported in Firefox 19 and was scheduled to be fixed in Firefox 23 (released two days ago). I haven't tested myself, since I usually open multiple links for reading in separate tabs using Ctrl+click so I can save the time of going forward and back...

Earlier thread: Back in , I believe, Foxfire 3.0 when you return to a page instead of returning to the spot you left it always returned to the top of the page.
