Never heard of this extension, test it yourself by disabling it and seeing how the latest PM behaves.

Thanks i retested it and in the middle of a long history, or anywhere else apart from the top of it, if i keep clicking on links one after the other,
firefox / pm scrolls back to top & makes me loose the position.. this addon fixes it & avoids pm to scroll back to top.

I had this problem some time ago and my son-in-law solved it by making sure all my default ublock filters are checked, however it has raised its ugly head a few Pale moon versions ago. For me it occurs only on 1 site. Where did yo get PreventScrollOnHistory 1.1 ?

It's available in the Classic Add-ons Archive. That is an extension itself, available here:

Many thanks for the solution provided, however it did`nt solve it for me. I hope it may have solved it for others with this similar problem and await possible other solutions.

I checked some more filter lists for Ublock and my auto scroll to top problem was corrected. I don`t know which specific filter list solved the problem but here is all the filter lists I have checked:

My adding of checking more Ublock filter lists was shortlived as the issue has resurfaced. I tried adding the rest of the filter lists but that has`nt worked.
