Each forum has lots of categories. When I scroll down 3 pages and enter the 
categorie i like. Lets say categorie "HH". A browser hopefully remembered where
it came from. IE does :) 

But when i use the back button in Mozilla, it then jumps one page back and went
to the start of the beginpage categorie "AA".

Result: I have to scroll down (again) 3 pages to select the next categorie "KK"
and i have to repeat that for each categorie. After the 5th categorie it begin
to get annoying.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://www.htforum.nl/yabbse/index.php
2. scroll to "nieuwtjes op pc gebied"  (3 or 4 pages down)
3. click on it to enter the categorie
4. use the backbutton.
5. goto the next categorie "Algemene vragen over Pc's"

6. do that 10 times :-)  nice he?
Actual Results:  
i was by categorie "over this board" (3 or 4 pages scrolled to far back)

Expected Results:  
Stopped on bookmark "nieuwtjes op pc gebied"

it may not sound like a big bug. But if 75% of your surfing is on forums then it
is very annoying.

This has nothing to do with bookmarks.

rene: what makes you think this is a duplicate of 217120?  afaik, the exact bug
hasn't even been determined, yet.  there could be a number of different bugs
causing this bad behavior.  maybe a metabug can be made to track all the
different "back button doesn't go back to same place" bugs, but duping this bug
on the ebay.com bug doesn't seem like a good idea....

I see the same problem with my Linux build. Should the OS be changed to "All"?

Comment 8

[Thor Harald Johansen]

I can confirm that this is a bug in Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2, and that it is indeed
very annoying when you're browsing forums.

It seems to work for me now, using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040915
Firefox/0.9.1+
I bet the fix for bug 217120 also fixed this bug.
