This is usually some widget at the top of the page. I can tab to the link I want and then hit Enter to load the link. Now if I go back to the previous page and hit Tab the first item in the tab cycle of the page again gets focus. It would be nice if the browser remembered which item in the tab cycle last had focus when a new page was loaded, and gave this item focus when going back to this page. This seeems to be the behaviour in IE and is very useful for mouseless browsing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to www.mozilla.org 2. Hit Tab twice and then Enter. 3. Now go back (Go->Back) Actual Results: No widget seems to have the focus now. If you hit Tab again then the first item on the tab cycle gets the focus. Expected Results: After going back either the widget that hit enter on should have the focus (IE does this) or at least this widget should have the focus after hitting Tab the first time.
