Firefox question: Is it possible to end up at the same place on the page where I started from, when I hit the back button?
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

If the page had an anchor hitting the back button will get you back to the anchor.
For example:
click this link: [link]
move to to another, then hit the back button.
You will end up around the subhead "Positive Feedback". note that even if you scrolled elsewhere on the page, that is where th back button would take you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
t useless Opera does it automatically t /useless
Which is why I hate the mod made to marking, etc, posts-my browser takes me right back to where I marked the post. The mods now mean that extra posts are loaded (and therefore marked read).
Huh. Maybe I could redo that code with anchors so that everyone comes back to where they started...

IE does it automatically, too. I liked that. I always have to scroll back down to the post if I click through a link here.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Firefox USED to do it. I wonder what happened? I started noticing it didn't about a year ago.

You can use the pagemark extension. It isn't automatic (you have to right-click select pagemark to save the position and the same to return to the position), but it works.

I thought we tried that and there was a problem with some browser compatibility or somesuch.

I'll skim BBaBB. I can't see why we wouldn't have tried it, but I also can't see why it wouldn't work.
Which is sure to mean there's a perfectly good reason, and I'm losing brain cells.
