71281 - have session history remember which link was focused

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36539

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, enhancement)

Description

[j.morris]

I've found a good feature in Internet Explorer (no, really, I'm serious)

When there's a list of links on a page I can use TAB, Return and Backspace to 
browse thru them all quickly and without using the mouse, because when I hit 
backspace to go back to the previous page, the link that was just followed 
remains highlighted with that little box thing around it.  This means that I 
only have to press Tab once to get to the next link, instead of starting again 
from the top of the page.  I think this feature, which I've dubbed 'funky 
tabbing' would be a very useful thing to have, cos right now it's the only 
reason I still use IE.  Nyetscape doesn't have it either, which prolly explains 
why Mozilla doesn't have it  :)

Anything to make downloading pr0n easier

Resummarizing based on what seems to be the feature request.

The idea seems to be that when you go back to a page in the history, the link
you had initially taken off that page should have the focus.

So it is.  Dup of "[RFE]Saving focused element in session history"
