Opening any link causes location in current page to jump back to top of page.
I have FF set to open all new windows in a new tab which was the default setting. Whenever I open a link, the new link will open in another tab, but on my current page/tab I will be transported back to the top of my current page/tab. You can imagine how annoying this is especially on long pages. Does anyone have a solution for this? One thing I have tried is highlighting some text near the link I am about to open and sometimes this will prevent the page from moving back to the top when I open the link, but not always. Thanks for looking, (FF 3.6.18 on linux)
-This occurs whether I have FF set to switch immediately to new tab, OR not.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you Cor-el! That did the trick, but I'm not sure why.
Just FYI I restarted in safemode, and chose to continue without selecting any of the options just as you said. I tried clicking on links further down in the page, and the page DIDN'T jump back to the top! I checked to make sure the default theme was selected which it already was.
When I restarted Firefox in normal mode, it continued to do the right thing and did not jump to the top for each link open. I have no idea why your solution worked, maybe it reset something? anyways, thank you again, wonderful help!
