Textarea cursor position not preserved in FF 158 when going back one step
I frequently use textareas to edit text files on a server. Often, after saving the form, I discover a need for further editing, like a misspelling or something omitted, Previous FF versions, after hitting the back button, placed the cursor where I last edited. Now version 158 puts the cursor at the top, requiring a search for the mistake, like Chrome (another reason not to use it). Bug or feature? Is there some workaround or will I have to revert to version 157?

Quickly checked, seems to work as expected in v158: Used developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/textarea — bashed some content into one, left a "HERE" mark where I had cursor, used one of the links around to navigate, came back, and was at "HERE".
If you haven't changed the actual app and want to look across versions, you can try mozregression to bisect versions exactly down to a day/changeset if you can still consistently see "good" vs "bad" results on both sides of version ranges using your page as the input.
