Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Jason Bassford]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020626
BuildID:    2002062608

Carried over from bug 46877.  CCing Eric Pollmann.

If the preference 'browser.block.target_new_window' is set to true, Mozilla does
not remember its vertical scroll position when using the Back button after
having gone to a link that would normally have opened in a new window were it
not for this preference setting.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://www.ntcompatible.com.
2. SCroll down the page so that you are obviously no longer at the top.
3. Find a news story with a link that says "Read more."
4. Click on the link.
5. Click on the browser Back button.

Actual Results:  You are back at the top of the page.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have remembered its previous vertical scroll
position and put you back there.
