36070 - Pressing the Back button should load the last page at the same veritical position

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16806

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, enhancement, P3)

Description

[stevep]

It would be nice if Mozilla would load the last page visited at the same
vertical position that you were at when using the back button. Ex. When you
reading a report that is 100 pages long and decide to follow a link while
reading the 75th page, it would be desirable for Mozilla to jump back down to
the same vertical position in the document when the user presses the back button
from the link.

No doubt about VERIFYING this one; clearly a DUP of bug 16806, 
"Saving scroll position in session history".
