Description

[Felix Miata]

I was searching for existing bugs before filing one I discovered using <A
HREF="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&product=MailNews&short_desc=headers&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time">Bug
Search</A>
Initially I was clicking on possible matches, reading, then returning with the
back button. Visited links were indicated by the conventional darkening of the
link color. Then I found it more convenient to view the potential matches by
opening each in a new tab, closing it when done, as the bug search results page
continues to return to the top of page instead of previous vertical scroll
position. However, when closing one of those tabs, not only was I not brought
back directly to the parent tab, having to select it manually, but also the link
I had just had open in the tab was not indicated as having been visited by the
color darkening. Intevening tabs numbered four in total, with the parent the
first of five.

Modern.
