If i were to scroll down half way on a tab, and switch to a different tab when i turn Firefox off, by the time I turn it back on that first tab would jump right back to the top of the page unless I refresh before closing Firefox. This has been happening to me since I upgraded to Firefox 27 and it's getting pretty annoying. I keep a lot of tabs open and it is a lot of work trying to remember to refresh every page before I close firefox, is there a fix to this?

I also do not have the "Clear history when Firefox closes" option checked

Hi nirvaphreak,

That is odd, as I do not recall having Firefox remember the place in the page I was when closing and opening a new session. However, there are a few pages that have tags in them that are appended to the url. I also do not recall having to refresh every page before closing Firefox. If you have "Don't load tabs until selected" this may happen when you restore the session automatically.

If I may ask can you provide an example of when this happens? If there are no more responses, please pm me or ask a question with steps to reproduce this behavior and the webpages you used.

I usually run my browser with around 4 to 5 tabs saved at all times, an example of the problem is one tab is a web page with a novel, if I were to read half way into the page when closing firefox, it will resume at the same spot I left off when I turn it back on. However, if I were to change to a different tab and then close firefox, by the time I turn it back on and go back to the tab with the novel it'll return to the spot where I last refreshed, which usually is never so it returns to the top of the page. This is happening to every single tab/web site that was not refreshed anytime before I turn off firefox. Everytime I close firefox I choose the save my tabs option and firefox had always remembered my last position for every tab before I upgraded to 27.0.1

Hope this is enough information to understand my problem.
