Back button not taking me back to where I was

Hi,

This does not happen in all web sites, but when I use Kijiji, select a category of item I am looking for, scroll down to an item I want more information on, select that item, read that item then select my "back" button, it does not take me back to the item in the loooong list of items, but back to the top of the page.

This is most inconvenient as one page could have 40 or more items, and it is a pain to scroll through all the items again to find where I was.

I am told this does not happen with other browsers, but Firefox is my browser of choice.

Thanks, Russ Gerrish

I get around this by; When I find a link I want to check out, I open it in a new tab/window. Then when I am done, I close it and am back where I started. ++++++++++++++++++ Note: Sometimes the 'back' button has issues when redirects and other issues show up. Try right-clicking the 'back' button for better control.
