Returning from opened links goes back to top of the page... can I stop this??

When I open a link, on Google search or Facebook news feed, and then close it, I'm taken back to the top of the results/news feed page and not the place further down where I clicked the link. Any idea how I can stop this?? The most annoying flaw I've come across! (I'm using an asus tablet)

Welcome to the forums. What browser are you using?

I'll long press the link so it opens the pop-up menu, then select to open it in a new tab. That works on Chrome, and I'm guessing other tab capable browsers have a similar function. This way you're not navigating away from the prior page and returning to cause it too reload.
