Browser correctly goes to the last scrolled position (on most pages) after clicking the back button. I have periodically seen the symptom you describe, but I don't believe it's kernel related, since I have seen that symptom on 2.4. I would run more tests on both kernels, and look for additional variables that could be contributing to it. You might also try then non-mm2 test3 in the remote chance that it is a kernel problem. Also, make sure the problem isn't specific to certain web pages(right now, the problem manifests itself on the bugzilla pages, but not on a handful of others that i've just checked), and check against bugzilla 210992: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210992
