Is it possible to click on an item in the "History" window without it returning to the top?
Every time I select an item in my history the window returns to the top. This makes it extremely frustrating for anyone trying to navigate their history to look for something specific within a range of internet usage since any item of interest that gets clicked on is automatically taken out of context. Is there any fix for this? I would hate to have to stop using firefox over such a minor issue, but it is one that I repeatedly have problems with and can't seem to find any solution to online.

No, that isn't possible. If you open the link then you create a new history entry and Firefox shows only the most recent visit although the older entries are still present.
A possible workaround is to select all history items using Ctrl and Shift in the usual way and copy them to the clipboard via the right-click context menu.
That way you could bookmark them to a folder and open them at will.
In the history sidebar (Ctrl+H), click to the left of the favicon to avoid opening a link.
