Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit any page that offers a choice of style. An example is provided in the URL field of this bug. 2. Under the View menu, under Use Stylesheet, select a different style than the default. (On the page the given URL points to, pick either monochromatic grey or angry fruit salad.) 3. Visit another page, by following a link or whatever. 4. Hit back button. Expected Results: Page is still displayed in the selected style. Actual Results: Page reverts to the default style. I believe all cached pages should have information retained by Mozilla about which of the page's stylesheets the user has selected, if multiple choices are offered. Since relatively few pages support multiple style options at this time (because earlier browsers lack the support), this is not urgent, and does not need to make it into 1.0, but it will hopefully become important later as more pages embrace this standard and offer the user several options.

Okay. 83663 seems to be _mostly_ about persisting the style selection from one page to another within a site, rather than about persisting it from one viewing of the same page to another (as this bug is), _however_, the former problem (83663) is something I would like to see solved also, and it does seem like the more difficult problem, and the solution will _probably_ solve this bug in the bargain. Leaving as duplicate for now. I'll reopen in the unlikely event that 83663 is somehow resolved without addressing this lesser issue.
