1904296 - After opening a link with a hash in a new page, that page is scrolled to the bottom instead of to the appropriate location

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Browser Engine, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

Attachment: link-with-anchors.html

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the attachment.
2. Long press one of the link, then choose "open in new page".
3. Switch to that page after a short while (sometimes the bug doesn't happen if I switch to it quickly after opening it).

=> Notice the page is scrolled to the bottom or near the bottom.

Instead it should be scrolled at the location pointed by the hash.

This works appropriately when the page is opened in the same tab (by simply clicking the links).
This also works in Firefox Desktop.

Device information

• Firefox version: v129 nightly, also reproduces in stable v127
• Android device model: Samsung S10e
• Android OS version: 12

I was not able to reproduce on my pixel on 132. Are you still able to reproduce it?

I can reproduce only with the second link now (the one to w3.org).

I was able to reproduce this issue with the second link on the Fenix Nightly build 133.0a1, and on RC 132.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra (Android 14), and a Google Pixel 6 (Android 15).

Long-tap on the link takes me to screenshot 1, the simple tap on the link displays the second screenshot - attached.
