I use keyboard (tab key) to navigate links. I frequently hit tab a bunch of
times to select a link, then hit enter to open in (in the same window/browser
tab), then hit backspace to go back to the original page. So far so good.
Now that I'm back to the original page, I would like to hit tab once to select
the next link. Instead, FF gets amnesia and the tab key starts again from link #1.
IE works as desired - it remembers the selected link if I go back to the page.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any page (call it pageA)
2. Hit tab a few times to select a link (linkB). Hit enter to open the link.
3. Hit backspace to go back to pageA.
4. LinkB should be selected and hitting tab once should take me to the link
right after linkB. Instead, the tab traversal gets reset to the start of page.
Actual Results:
FF forgets the currently selected link.
Expected Results:
Should remember the selected link and restart tab traversal with it.
