Is it possible to switch between whether or not the previously clicked button or link remains highlighted when you go back a page?

When clicking on a link in Firefox, it selects that link and takes the user to the connected page. If the user then goes back a page, different situations happen on different (but identical) computers. On some computers, the previous clicked link stays highlighted/selected and then the Tab key goes to the next link. On other computers, going back clears the previous selected link, in which causes the Tab key to start scrolling through item from the top of this page. Is there a way to set Firefox to do this one way or the other? Is this a Windows issue and not an Firefox issue?

You can avoid that by opening the link in a new tab with a middle-click.
The you can close that tab with a middle click on that tab after you are done and go back to the tab with the links.
