Dear Computer People,
Perhaps most everyone is familiar with google images. There are thumbnail pictures, you click on them and they enlarge. Now when I do this, the whole page jumps to the top every time. Only this last week did this begin. I tried to rejuvenate using the reset to previous date, but it didn't fix it. Is this a permanent thing now, or can I fix it?

I don't notice this happening in Firefox version 34.0. What operating system and browser are you using (and versions)?
