A better way to solve this problem is to use a function like this:

function scrollToTop(callback, q) {

    if ($('html').scrollTop()) {
        $('html').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, function() {
            console.log('html scroll');
            callback(q)
        });
        return;
    }

    if ($('body').scrollTop()) {
        $('body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, function() {
            console.log('body scroll');
            callback(q)
        });
        return;
    }

    callback(q);
}

This will work across all browsers and prevents FireFox from scrolling up twice (which is what happens if you use the accepted answer - $("html,body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, "slow");).
