Google search returns to top of page 1 when back button used after visiting a search page
When searching google, page returns to top of page 1. It used to return to the last search looked at, so if you are searching on page 6 it returns to page 1 and you have to go back to 6 & scroll down to where you were. Running Firefox 3.6.17. Windows 7

To resolve the issue, you need to change the search settings on the Google home page. Top right hand corner, open the search settings and turn off the "Google Instant predictions".
Hope that helps !!!

Google search returns to top of page 1 when back button used after visiting a search page
I do not have that problem, because I open the results page in a new tab, and the links from the results page into new tabs.
I can only try to tell what what I do which is to use different tabs, not put everything into one tab.
Google: click on the Gear (settings(
- Search results: [x] Open search results in a new browser window
Tools > Options > Tabs
- I have everything checked except for Preview, but the important one is
- [x] Open new windows in a new tab instead
If you type something in the the search bar or location bar and realize you didn';t start in a new tab, press the "Alt" button to force the search or url into a new tab.
about:config changes
- browser.search.openintab true
- browser.tab.openinnewtab true

More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change).
If this solves your question and is better that what you had in 3.6, please mark as solved.

I have exactly this same problem. I believe it first appeared a week or two ago. It manifests on Firefox both at home and at work. My version at home has not been updated for several months, while my version at work is updated regularly. My home version is 3.6.13. I am not sure what version I am running at work.
This occurs with Firefox under both Windows and Linux.
I have turned off all extensions and plugins both manually and by starting Firefox in safe mode, and the problem persists.

Since updating to 5.0, I have a similar problem: My browser goes to the top of the page that I left. This happens regardless of whether I open the link in a new tab also. When I close the new tab, or go back to the old tab, it is at the top of the page.
Tried rebuilding the localstore and sqlite files as suggested, although this seems unrelated to the problem we're experiencing. The problem persists, without change, after the rebuild.
