Suppose I am using the tab key to navigate links on a page. I reach one I am
interested in, and press enter to follow it. Then I change my mind, I don't want
to be on this new page, so I press the back button (or ALT+left arrow) to get
back to where I was. Unfortunately, the focus (i.e. the link that I selected,
the one that was "highlighted") no longer has the focus. If I press tab to
continue jumping through the links on the page, I find myself always starting at
the top.
Is it possible to have firefox remember (and return to) where the focus was on a
page I go back to with the back button (and the go forward with the forward
button as well).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a web site
2. press tab several times to get to a link
3. press enter
4. press the back button (or ALT+left arrow)
5. press tab to "continue" navigating through the links
Actual Results:
focus returns to top of page
Expected Results:
focus returns to previous position
