At wikipedia.org (for example), use the tab key to traverse the hyperlinks and
highlight one of the links. Hit Enter to go to the linked page. Then hit
Alt-LeftArrow key or BackSpace to go back. Now hit Tab. You will start
highlighting links from the top of the page again. It should remember where I
was right before I hit the Enter key to reach the next page. This is the way IE
works and is quite nice if you are searching for something from a list of
results that are all hyperlinks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.wikipedia.org
2. Press Tab to highlight a hyperlink.
3. Press Enter to go to the linked page
4. Press BackSpace to return to previous page
5. Press Tab. 
Actual Results:  
The highlighted hyperlink is at the beginning of the page. Not where you left off. 

Expected Results:  
Pressing Tab should highlight the next link on the page not the link at the
beginning of the page.
