Appears to me to be not the body of the page where I selected the link, but still at the top of the page. In other sites such as Bing or Ebay it works perfectly. I could reproduce the problem on different PCs in different locations. Also, a new Firefox profile and safe mode of Firefox does not help. Reproducible: Always

Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch
No, I'm not logged in when that happens. But it also happens when I'm logged in. I have just found out that its related to the new Google-Instant. If these features in the Google search settings are disabled everything works again.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110621 Firefox/7.0a1 I was able to reproduce this but only while I was logged in. When I logged out and tried to reproduce it, the page returned to the expected area.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110921 Firefox/9.0a1 This issue is not reproducible on IE using Win 7, where the scroll position is remembered. Not sure is this is a Firefox issue or is google related. Anthony, what do you think?

Simona, can you please investigate if this is a regression in Firefox?
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110925 Firefox/9.0a1 I can't reproduce this issue anymore. Tried on the latest nightly and on several RCs (3.6.23, 4.0, 5.02, 6.0.2 and 7.0) - after hitting the back button Firefox remembers the scrolling position and takes me to the last visited link.
@honesty333, can you confirm if this works for you on the most recent release, Firefox 7?
Resolving. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce.
