[Bug 291817] [NEW] Click on the back button doesn't scroll the previous page to the previous position

[Joan Tur]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After hitting the back button I get the previous page but, instead of
showing the position I was at, it's showing the top of the page.

For instance, I'm reading the newspaper, click on a link, then back to
the newspaper's site, but I have to scroll (again) down, and look for
the last link I've checked, to continue reading it.

I hope I've explained myself fine enough.  Remembering the page's
position is the default behaviour in Konqueror, and I've moved from Kde
to Gnome a few time ago.

Thanks  ;)

Note: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (final), firefox-3.0 3.0.3+nobinonly-
0ubuntu2
