    Why does my computer all of a sudden put me at the top of the page when I return to the previous page?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 using Google Chrome.  Recently I had to factory restore it to original settings. Now, when I return to the previous page, it puts me all the way back at the top. Where do I find the setting to return me to where I was?

    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 truebrowser.tab.openinnewtab true
