Whenever I click on an article from the foxnews main page and then attempt to return to where I was via the Back Arrow, Firefox always returns me to the top of the main page, forcing me to scroll down again. Additionally, it usually requires two Back Arrow clicks before it returns. This is the only website I've run into where this happens.

And the big kicker is that foxnews works correctly in Edge, IE and Chrome.

Open the articles in a new Tab and when you're done reading simply close the Tab. The original page should be just where you left it.

That's not a fix. It's just a workaround. I don't have this problem with any other website and it works fine in Edge, IE and Chrome.
