Search page of Bing automatically jumping to the top of page.
- Mar 14, 2023
So, I switched to Bing a month ago and.. I HAD the same problem, but I just fixed it !
There's a function in a script file triggered when Bing Search is Out of Focus, waiting for 15 seconds, and then Scroll the page to the top.Why ? ... I really don't know ... but, who cares ? š
For Tampermonkey addon users on Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera and Firefox, the simple way is to install a script like this.
Updated version on GreaseFork ! - See at the bottom of this post for the link.

Tampermonkey will say there's an error, saying the variable is not defined, it's normal, don't worry.
Installing Tampermonker and create a new script then pasting my code, is not really difficult if you need a solution.
AwayTimeThreshold defines the waiting time in seconds when the tab is no longer active to scroll up the page. (Default value: 15 seconds)
Some sort of temporary (but for a long time, i think ^^) solution is to set an impossible value to reach to this variable. (2 592 000 seconds = One month.)
I currently use this solution, and it works like a charm ! š
I could try to make an extension for Chrome and Edge to simplify the solution, but for now, this is a solution.
Tell me if you need help and share this solution to your friends, co-workers, etc... Thanks !Addon Links:

Well done Geekness,
That is bonza. Seems to work a treat. Thank you - liftman666Apr 21, 2023Copper Contributor
Some of us don't know how to do that script stuff. Is there a simpleton solution for the rest of us?

That is awesome, Geekness_! I just kept thinking it is one of my extensions that is interfering and causing this behavior. Gave up on Microsoft to respond, so stopped checking this page. Glad to see your response, and very appreciative for your effort and solution.
I have reverted to Google search after some frustration because of this issue, and also based on it giving more relevant results for my search. But I will implement this solution so that it helps if I consider going back to Bing.
- SolidBlockMar 24, 2023Copper ContributorNice! A simple suggestion:
replace domain http*://www.bing.com/*
to http*://*.bing.com/*
sometimes the webpage of bing does not begin with āwww.ā.- Geekness_Apr 06, 2023Brass ContributorDone ! Thank you !
