User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

example: a search result from "ebay" - looking at a link at the bottom of the
result site, "back" again, now the top of the result site is shown, not the area
where the link was. 

MS IE 6.0 doesn't have this problem ;-((


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. searching at "ebay", getting a long result list
2. scroll down on the page
3. choose an item at the bottom of the list
4. click "back", the search result page comes back.
Actual Results:  
the search result site comes back, but not at the correct position, the top of
the page is shown, not scrolled down to the last position.


Expected Results:  
scroll down the page to the position before clicking the link
