When returning to a google search, Firefox takes me to the top of the page

Question

I use Firefox exclusively as my browser. I also use Google as my default home page. I execute a google search, and am presented with a list of several pages of web sites. As I work my way through each of these sites, I wish to return to my search results and select the next item listed. When doing so, Firefox always returns me to the top of the list. I must then page down through the list and remember where I left off and select the next search item. Can this be fixed? Are my settings wrong? How can I prevent this?

Answer 1

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />
