1004964 - lose track of url history

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1044556

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Vincent Legoll]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140319 Firefox/24.0 Iceweasel/24.4.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20140319045509

Steps to reproduce:

I was really deep into reading a web forum (http://owwm.org/viewforum.php?f=1&start=21000 about 520th page of 40 posts each) with each post I've read being opened in a new tab which is closed after being read.

FF 30.0 beta on samsung galaxy tab


Actual results:

When switching back to forum tab (after reading some posts) the forum listing was way back into the posts list, something like 40 pages behind the one I last was on...

This does not happen all the time, but sometimes a few times in a row, and is becoming really annoying, since I have to keep track myself of where I was and manually get back to the right page...


Expected results:

The tab with the forum post list should always stay at the last place it was when it was last focused.

I get around this bug with "open in new tab"-ing the next result page instead of keeping the old tab

bug 1160850 may be a dupe and if so provides more information on the symptoms of the bug.
