1. Load http://people.mozilla.com/~nhirata/html_tp/jumptag.html
2. Click on the "Go to bottom" link (ignore the fact that this may not actually scroll to the bottom - that's bug 704690)
3. Observe how the URL displayed in the url bar now has #bottom appended to it
4. Go to the bottom of the page and click on the "Go to top" link (again, ignore that this may not actually scroll)

Expected behaviour: the URL displayed in the URL bar should have #top instead of #bottom appended to it.
Observed behaviour: the URL displayed still has #bottom displayed.

Note also that if you tap on the URL bar at this point to edit the URL, the editable URL field shows #top (as is expected) but canceling the edit and returning to the page view again shows #bottom.
I can reproduce this on my Samsung Galaxy tab 3.1 with latestly nightly fennec native (11.28)

I tried it today, and it seems to work fine for me. Please reopen if you still find this bug.

I'm still seeing this, but now the URL bar never updates. Reopening after discussing with Sriram on IRC - the expected behaviour is that the URL bar should always update and show the correct #target.

Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
The anchors are updated in the url bar. Earlier we were returning, if it was just a "#" change. Now the url bar alone is updated.
