Yup, it seems to be a fundamental property of how Firefox handles refreshes. If you refresh a SSL page, it bounces to the top. A non-SSL page stays where it is.
I've tried it with other web pages, and they all function that way.

So you're telling us that the only variable you changed was SSL and it worked perfectly?
Very odd...

I found the answer. It's pretty simple really...
I was using SSL with my hobbit server. With SSL'ed web pages, refreshes force you back to the top of the page. NonSSL'ed web pages (which I had totally disabled) work fine.
Now I just need to hack up the header files so the secure areas point to SSL even when I'm looking at the nonSSL pages. But as I already ran into the header files while debugging this, that should be trivial.
Thanks for the help!

I am using this for an Apache server:

Latest and greatest package from the default repo's. Using CentOS 5 (which is RHEL based).
I honestly have no idea how the page stays position. It has to do something along the lines of cache, but that is a client side thing so...my ideas stop here =(
Please let us know what you come up with. I know I would like to know the resolution to this.

The demo does maintain position exactly as I want. So it definitely

hobbit in general. My best guess now is it somehow lies in my Apache. That's just RedHat's stock Apache 2.0.52, but it may be related to a module (I shutoff the mods I wasn't using).... at least I have something to poke at now....

Troubleshooting technique!
Use the Hobbitmon demo on the project page. This was the only page long enough (for me - 1680x1050 resolution) for me to scroll down and maintain my position.

Does this maintain position for you, Scott?

Firefox 1.5.0.12 on Centos EL5 maintains position on refresh.
