Hi, a while ago something changed in my Firefox where when browsing and refreshing a page it now returns to the top of the page. It always use to refresh to the same place on the page so i didn't need to scroll to get back to where i was. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Paul, if this happens only on a certain site, it's possible they changed the underlying technology and no longer serve the page as a whole on load. It should still work as expected in general — I just tried on a random wikipedia page and the scroll position seems to be preserved on refresh. Can you confirm refreshing wikipedia articles or any of these mozilla sites also exhibits the same for you?
