Hi Erik, this problem is related to the toggle containers. When the document loads, the toggle containers are fully expanded, then a script collapses them later. But in between, Firefox has already calculated the vertical numerical position for the internal link you went to, and it does not recalculate the position after the upper part of the page is drastically shortened. Of course, this is only a problem for the links that are below the toggle containers.

This is a difficult situation to work around. One possibility is to add a snippet of script to the page that runs after the page has rendered and re-scrolls if needed. I'm not sure of the timing, whether it will run before or after the toggle containers are closed.

window.addEventListener('load', function(evt){
  var bmk = window.location.hash;
  if (bmk.length > 1){ // if there's a hash, scroll to it
    el = document.querySelector('a[name="' + bmk.substr(1) + '"]');
    el.scrollIntoView();
  }
});

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am certainly not an expert on toggle containers, but it seems to me that Firefox calculates the vertical numerical position for the internal link prematurely, i.e. before the upper part of the page is shortened and the length of the page to be displayed is known

The vertical numerical position should probably be calculated after the length of the page to be displayed is known. I hope this gives some meaning.

Best regards,

P.S.

P.S. I just wanted to say that I like Firefox very much.

Hi Erik, you can file a bug report here and see whether Firefox can be changed later this year:
