Bug 1750174 - Auto-refreshing pages reposition themselves to the top upon refresh. r?smaug!
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded to newest version of Firefox.

Actual results:

Pages that auto-refresh themselves using <META REFRESH> tag in page <HEAD> section re-position themselves back to the top of the page when auto-refresh occurs. This did not happen in releases earlier than 94 (the bug seems to have been introduced together with bug 1742865, already fixed) and this does not happen when I refresh the page manually by clicking the "Refresh" button: if the page was positioned somewhere in the middle before refresh, it stays there.

Expected results:

Old behavior should be restored: if the page was positioned somewhere in the middle before refresh, it stays there.

I can reproduce the issue in Nightly98.0a1 Windows10.
