In your example, the fragmant identifier #b would link to an <anchor> 
looking like <a name="b">, given that your page does not have an anchor
with that name, I suggest that Firefox (and any other correct browser)
should not change the view. 

This report is probably INVALID - BY DESIGN.

The HTML 4.01 spec says that name attribute is case-sensitive.  The page in
question gets that wrong.
