From Bugzilla Helper:

I'll look at a page, find a link i want to look at, go to it, finish looking at
it, and go back to the original page (using either Alt-R.Arrow or the back
button).  When i get to the original page, the page is positioned  at the top
instead of where i had last been viewing it (that is, the spot where the link i
clicked on is).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go down a page
2.click through a link
3.press back

Actual Results:  page positioned at the top

Expected Results:  page positioned where i was last viewing

Martin, are you also seeing this with a recent nightly?  Does it happen on all
pages?

This is reproducable on Win2000 Build 2001122106 (0.9.7). Specifically on
Slashdot and Kuro5hin, when following links in comments to subcomments, clicking
on Back will take me to the previous page, but will return to the top of the page.

This may be a regression of sorts, as in previous releases (0.9.5 specifically)
I noticed that when browsing back a page, it would try and bring me to the link
I had clicked, but it would often be off by a page of text or two.

After further investigation, this is possibly a duplicate of Bug 58785, Bug
105395, Bug 112564, etc...

58785 would be my guess.  Duping
