Let's say I'm viewing a webpage with Firefox, and I scroll to the bottom on the page, then click a link. Now I'm on the new page. When I click the back button, it goes back to the top of the previous page... THEN jumps down to where I was on that page.

Does anyone know why this happens? If I use IE, when I click back, it goes instantly to where I was on the previous page.

It's not a big problem... but it's kind of annoying. Any solutions? It seems like since Firefox has the previous page in cache anyway, it could go instantly back to the location on the previous page.

Try this one: Tools/Options/Tabs, and then check the last check box which says, " When I click on a link . . ."

I don't have problems with opening tabs. I just wanna know why when I click back to go to a previous page, it first goes back to the top of that page, then jumps to where on the page I was before... instead of going right back to where I was on that page previously.

It's probably a long page and Firefox has to wait a bit until it loads it all and then it jumps to the part. I just tried it here and it jumped instantly to where it needed to. I'm using Firefox 3.0, but I don't think that matters.
