When clicking a link on a page it automatically jumps back to the top of the page for no reason.  It's annoying when it's a long page and you click a picture only to have to go back and do it again.  Also happens for any link or if you click a non linked area of the page.

Reproducible: Always

I suspect you have caret browsing turned on, not?
Do you see a blinking cursor on pages?

Yes I do see a blinking cursor.  Should I turn off always use cursor keys?

Yes, but this should be fixed in the 2.0.0.1 update, since the patch for bug 144000 is there backed out.
This is a duplicate of bug 351491.
