184087 - saving active link with history to provide better keyboard navigation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36539

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, enhancement)

Description

[Marco Gabriel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: 

I'm often using the keyboard for navigation in webpages to speed up especially 
reading in forums. If I follow a link in IE and go back by using <ALT>+<LEFT>, 
it goes back to the previous page and knows the link I followed before, which 
is again highlighted then. I can press <TAB> to go to the next link in that 
page. If I do this within mozilla, I have to start again on the top of the 
page. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
If I go back to the previous page, my last visited link is lost and I have to 
search again. 

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should know which link I pressed on the previous page to activate it 
again, so that I can <TAB> on to the next link.
