This forum has a 'Top button at the bottom of each page. Clicking on it does the same function as hitting the Home button, which is, it brings you to the top of the page. It works on other browsers, but does not work with Firefox.

Chosen solution

There is no element with a name or id "top" on that page and without it Firefox won't work.


javascript:(function(){var d=document,N;N=d.body.firstChild;N=N.parentNode.insertBefore(d.createElement("A"),N);N.setAttribute("name","top");})();

Does that top button have a link to an existing anchor on that page?

Something like #top isn't enough if such a link doesn't exist.

<a name="top"></a>

What is the location of the link if you hover the link with the mouse?

If that is #top and adding #top to the URL in the location bar doesn't have effect then that anchor tag is not present.
You can also check the page source via View > Page Source (Ctrl+U).

I have passed your conclusion onto the forum admin, and have been rewarded with silence. But your suggestion seems very logical and likely to work, and I want to thank you for your quick response. As far as I'm concerned, you've SOLVED the issue. Thanks again.
