I’ve discovered an irritating thing about Firefox: Say I’m looking at eBay & I click on an item in the middle/ end of the listings… After looking at the item, I hit Back on my browser to find that I’m at the top of the list, not where I left off. Is there a setting I can change to remedy this problem?

I complained about this same problem here:

[Questions About Firefox 0.8](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=269180)

What’s wierd is that not every site that I browse with Firefox has the problem, but the SDMB does.  
It’s a known bug or unresolved issue with Firefox. There’s a link in the thread above where you can complain about this.

Thanks, Fritz.

I never even thought of just opening the links in a new tab. D’oh! :smack:
