Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 272026

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve England [:stevee]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In IE pressing f5 f5 (ie: f5 twice) reloads the page and moves focus to the top
of the page. In FireFox, f5 f5 reloads the page, but focus remains at the scroll
bar position that was present when f5 was pressed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scroll to the bottom of this page
2. Hit f5 f5 (ie: f5 twice in quick succession)

Actual Results:  
Firefox refreshes the page, and moves focus to the bottom of the page (where it
was when f5 f5 was pressed)

Expected Results:  
Firefox should refresh the page, and move focus to the top of the page (as in
the vertical scrollbar should be at the top)

This is how IE works. It would be nice if this was also how Firefox works.
