Description

[Paul Jackson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

If you go to www.ebay.com and search for a common item such as "computer" and
then scroll down to the bottom of the search results and click on an item, wait
till the page loads then hit the back button, Firebird takes you back to the top
of the results page instead of to the position of the page that you were at
previously.

IE 6.0 does not have this problem, it always takes you back to the same position
in the prior web page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.ebay.com
2. search for a common item such as "computer"
3. scroll down to the bottom of the first page of search results
4. click on an item to display it in the same tab or window.
5. Hit the back button

Actual Results:  
Browser returned to top of original page even though we were positioned at the
bottom.

Expected Results:  
Returned us to the same position that we were at before we clicked on another
link (like IE 6)

Using default theme, no extensions added. Fresh installation.
